Crab 'n' Cheese Spirals Recipe

Prep: 20 min. Bake: 15 min.

Yield: 30 Servings

20 15 35

Ingredients

2 packages (8 ounces each) cream cheese, softened
2 cups chopped imitation crabmeat
1 can (4-1/4 ounces) chopped ripe olives
1/4 cup minced chives
3 tubes (8 ounces each) refrigerated crescent rolls
3/4 cup shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
3/4 cup shredded Parmesan cheese

Directions

In a small bowl, beat the cream cheese, crab, olives and chives. Unroll one tube of crescent dough into one long rectangle; seal seams and perforations.
Spread with 1 cup cream cheese mixture; sprinkle with 1/4 cup of each cheese. Roll up jelly-roll style, starting with a long side; pinch seam to seal.
Using a serrated knife, cut into 10 slices; place cut side down on a greased baking sheet. Repeat with remaining crescent dough, cream cheese mixture and cheeses.
Bake at 375° for 14-16 minutes or until golden brown. Serve warm. Yield: 2-1/2 dozen.
