Cool 10 to 15 minutes. Separate 2 packages of crescent roll dough into 6 rectangles (2 crescent forms make 1 rectangle).Reserve the remaining 2 for decorating.Overlap the triangles on a large floured surface to make a large rectangle.Gently,press together the seams and perforations. Place over meat loaf and mold to fit.Trim off excess dough.Use remaining rectangles to make a design for the top;cookie cutters may be used.Brush dough with egg white and return loaf to the oven for 15 to 20 minutes or until golden.Makes 6 to 8 servings.
