How to Make Baked Cream Cheese Appetizer
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a baking sheet.
- Unroll one sheet of pie crust onto the prepared baking sheet. Gently press the seams together to form a 12x4 inch rectangle.
- In a small bowl, soften the cream cheese and gently mix in the chopped fresh dill.
- Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly onto the center of the pie crust rectangle, leaving a 1-inch border.
- 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.
- Brush the top of the dough with the beaten egg white. This will give it a beautiful golden brown finish.
- Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is heated through.
- Let cool slightly before slicing and serving with crackers, French bread, or vegetable sticks.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
