11/two cups (vi ounces) shredded Swiss cheese

one/two cup sour cream

one/four cup thinly sliced green onion

one cup (four ounces) cooked shrimp, chopped, or 4.5 ounces canned shrimp, rinsed, drained and chopped

one egg, crushed

On a gently floured surface, roll the thawed puff pastry to a ten” x eighteen” rectangle.

Place rectangle of pastry on a lightly greased, giant baking sheet.

In a very medium-sized bowl, stir along cheese, bitter cream, onion, shrimp and [*fr1] the overwhelmed egg

(concerning a pair of tablespoons).

Unfold the mixture length-wise down 0.5 of the rectangle. Brush edges of pastry (using pastry brush) with some of the remaining crushed egg.

Carefully fold dough over the filling and seal edges with the tines of a fork. Brush prime and sides of strudel with remaining egg.

Bake at four hundred degrees for twenty-twenty five minutes or till golden brown.
