Ingredients
Crust
1stickButter,softened
1jarKraft Old English Spread
1cupFlour
Filling
1/3cupCream cheese
1/2pkgBoursin Garlic & Herb Cheese
3Scallions, minced
1Jalapeño or Serrano, minced
1cupCrab meat
2tspOld Bay Seasoning
2cupsPanko bread crumbs
Instructions
For the crust
Mix the first three ingredients into a smooth dough. (you may want to use your hands to make it quicker) Place in your ice box while you mix together the filling.
For the filling
Mince the scallions and jalapeño. Cream together the cream cheese and the Boursin cheese. Mix in the minced scallions, jalapeño and 2 teaspoons Old Bay Seasoning. Fold in the crab meat, trying to keep the large lumps in tact.
Pull the chilled dough out of the ice box. Roll a spoonful of dough into the palm of your hand so it forms a ball slightly smaller that a golf ball. Now flatten the ball in your hand. If it starts to stick to our hands put a little flour on your hands. Add a spoonful of filling in the middle of the disk and fold the edges around to cover the filling. Roll in your hands again to form a ball slightly larger than the first one. Roll in Panko bread crumbs, sprinkle with Old Bay. Place on an ungreased cookie sheet. Continue with the other 11 balls.
Place in the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, until slightly golden.
