Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 oz Cream cheese
- 0.25 cup Mayonnaise
- 1 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 0.5 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 8 oz Fresh or canned lump crab meat
- 2 tbsp Fresh chives
- 1 tsp Garlic powder
- 0.5 tsp Paprika
- 0.25 tsp Salt
- 0.25 tsp Black pepper
- 1 package Refrigerated crescent roll dough
- 1 as needed Non-stick cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with non-stick cooking spray.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine cream cheese, mayonnaise, mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix until smooth.
Fold in the crab meat and chives gently to avoid breaking up the lump crab.
Unroll the crescent roll dough and press it into the bottom of the prepared baking dish, creating an even layer. Press seams together to seal the dough.
Spread the crab and cheese mixture evenly over the crescent roll base.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18–20 minutes, or until the edges of the dough are golden brown and the topping is bubbly.
Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly before cutting into squares.
Serve warm as an appetizer or snack and enjoy!
