Description
Warm pastry hugging a creamy, briny crab filling, perfect for parties or brunch.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 can refrigerated crescent roll dough (8 oz)
- 1 cup cooked crab meat (lump or flaked)
- 4 oz cream cheese (softened)
- 2 tablespoons green onion (finely chopped)
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish — optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, combine the crab meat, softened cream cheese, green onion, garlic powder, and black pepper. Mix gently until well combined.
- Unroll the crescent dough and cut each triangle in half lengthwise.
- Spoon about 1 teaspoon of the crab mixture onto the wide end of each small triangle.
- Roll each triangle from the wide end toward the point and place seam-side down on the baking sheet.
- Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until golden brown. Remove from the oven and let cool for 2–3 minutes. Optional: sprinkle with fresh parsley before serving.
Notes
Keep cream cheese at room temperature for easier mixing. Don’t overfill to prevent leakage.
