How to Make Baked Cream Cheese Appetizer

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a baking sheet.
  2. Unroll one sheet of pie crust onto the prepared baking sheet. Gently press the seams together to form a 12x4 inch rectangle.
  3. In a small bowl, soften the cream cheese and gently mix in the chopped fresh dill.
  4. Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly onto the center of the pie crust rectangle, leaving a 1-inch border.
  5. Carefully fold the long sides of the dough over the cream cheese filling, then fold the short ends over to completely enclose the filling. Press the edges firmly to seal.
  6. Brush the top of the dough with the beaten egg white. This will give it a beautiful golden brown finish.
  7. Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is heated through.
  8. Let cool slightly before slicing and serving with crackers, French bread, or vegetable sticks.
