SHRIMP CHEESE ROLL

Category: Seafood

1 1/2 cups Muenster cheese, shredded
1 cup cooked shrimp
1/4 cup green onion, sliced thin
2 eggs
1/2 tsp salt
1/8 tsp pepper
1 pkg refrigerated crescent rolls
1 tbsp butter, melted
1 egg yolk + 1 tbsp water

Preheat oven to 400. In a bowl, stir together first 6 ingredients; set aside. Unroll dough onto lightly floured surface. Pinch together perforations on both sides of dough. Fold in half crosswise and with a lightly floured rolling pin, roll out to a 14x9 inch rectangle. Brush with butter.

Spread cheese mixture in a 2 inch strip along 1 long edge of dough and roll up jelly-roll fashion. Firmly pinch seam and ends together, then moisten slightly with water and smooth lightly with dull edge of knife to seal well.

Lift roll onto uncooked cookie sheet. Brush with egg yolk mixture. Bake for 25 minutes or until golden brown. Cool on rack for 20 minutes. With a sharp knife, cut into 1/2 inch slices.
