    4 ounces cream cheese, softened
    1/2 cup well-drained crabmeat
    2 green onions, chopped
    2 teaspoons dried tarragon
    salt
    pepper
    1 (17 1/3 ounce) package frozen puff pastry, thawed for 30 minutes
    1 large egg
    1 tablespoon milk
Preparation
    Preheat oven to 400\u00b0.
    In a bowl, mix the cream cheese, crab, onions, and tarragon; blend well.
    Season to taste with salt and pepper.
    Place pastry sheets on a lightly floured cutting board; roll out to a 14x10 inch rectangle.
    Cut out 22 circles from each pastry sheet, using a 2-inch cutter.
    In a small cup, beat egg and milk with a fork until blended.
    Spoon 1 teaspoon crab mixture onto center of each pastry circle.
    Brush edge of pastry with egg mixture.
    Fold pastry in half to completely enclose filling; press edges together to seal.
