Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 pieces (1 can typically contains 8 rolls) refrigerated crescent roll dough
- 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 4 ounces cooked crab meat, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons green onion, finely chopped
- 0.5 teaspoons garlic powder
- 1 teaspoons lemon juice
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
- 0.25 teaspoons paprika (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, crab meat, green onion, garlic powder, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Mix until well blended and set aside.
Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate it into individual triangles as pre-perforated.
Spoon about a tablespoon of the crab mixture onto the widest part of each dough triangle.
Roll each triangle starting from the wide end, gently tucking in the edges as you go, to fully enclose the filling.
Place the rolled crescents seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
Brush the tops of the crescents with melted butter, then sprinkle with paprika for added color, if desired.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the crescents are golden brown and fully cooked.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool for a few minutes before serving.
Serve warm and enjoy!
