Crawfish and cheese puffs

12 Servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
½ cup Onion -- finely diced
½ cup Red bell pepper -- finely
Diced
1 tablespoon Butter
¼ teaspoon Granulated onion
½ pounds Crawfish tails
¼ teaspoon Granulated garlic
½ teaspoon Tabasco sauce
4 ounces Hot pepper cheese -- grated
2 ounces Golden velvet cheese --
Grated
2 ounces Cream cheese
4 Sheets puff pastry

Directions

Saute onion and pepper in 1 tablespoon butter until softened. Add crawfish tails. Stir and warm thoroughly. Season with granulated onion, garlic, and Tabasco. Add pepper cheese, golden velvet, and cream cheese; mix thoroughly. Let cool. Cut out puff pastry circles using a 3 inch scalloped round pastry cutter and a 2½ inch plain round cutter. Place 1 tablespoon of crawfish cheese mixture in center of 1 to 3 inch scalloped circle. Cover with a 2 ½ inch circle. Crimp around edges to seal. Bake at 400 degrees for approximately 12-15 minutes until golden brown. Puffs can be laced with Mornay sauce. Because puff pastry dries out so quickly, you can cut dough in squares and wrap up like Chinese dumplings. Source: Cajun Revalations. Chef: Michael A. Richard Recipe By : Rhonda Guilbeaux File
