Place a sscond pastry layer atop each crab layer. spred again with cream cheese. top with half the remaining crab. Place the top pastry layers on top of the crab layer, browned side up. carefully dollop the remaining cream cheese mixture atop the pastry layers, top with remaining crab.

You have given me a reason to find puff pastry!! your recipe is enticing, and I like the fake crab 'cause dungeness crab isn't available in buffalo, ny. I love fake crab. the bumblebee(canned) crab is Good too. frozen fake is less $$. and I guess if I look, I will find the puffpastry in the freezer too!!. 5555555
