Crab and Cream Cheese croissants image

I had all these extra ingrediants laying around the kithen one Christmas Eve and was trying to figure out what to do with them so they wouldn't go to waste and this is what I came up with.

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 pkg softened cream cheese (works best at rm temp)
2 jalepeno seeded and chopped
3 can(s) crab meat or baby shrimp drained
4 can(s) croissants
dash or two of tobasco

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven according to the croissant package. Seed and dice the jalepeno. Open and drain cans of crab or shrimp. (tuna and salmon might work well also)
  • 2. In a mixing bowl combine all the ingredients, mixing well. You can make a little go a long way if when you open the croissants you cut them in half. This is where the as many as you like for servings comes in. :-}
  • 3. Fill the croissants and roll. Place them on a baking sheet and bake according to package directions. I hope these are as successful for you as they have been for me.
