Roll each out on lightly floured surface to thickness of 1/4 to 1/8 inch.

Spoon some of cheese mixture down center of each round. Fold one side over filling; press edges to seal. Arrange cresents on prepared sheets.

Sprinkle with paprika. Bake until cheese has melted and pastry is golden brown, about 40 minutes. Serve hot.
