Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 10 sheets Phyllo pastry sheets
- 1 cup Cooked crab meat
- 4 oz Cream cheese
- 2 stalks Green onions
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
- 0.5 teaspoons Garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked crab meat, cream cheese, finely chopped green onions, chopped fresh parsley, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined and set aside.
Melt the unsalted butter in a microwave or on the stovetop and keep it handy for brushing the phyllo pastry.
Carefully unroll the phyllo pastry sheets and cover with a damp kitchen towel to keep them from drying out.
Take one phyllo sheet and lay it flat on a clean, dry surface. Lightly brush it with melted butter. Place another sheet on top and brush again with butter. Repeat with a third sheet.
Using a sharp knife or a pizza cutter, cut the stacked phyllo sheets into 4 equal vertical strips.
Spoon a tablespoon of the crab mixture onto the end of each strip. Fold one corner of the strip diagonally over the filling to form a triangle. Continue folding the strip, maintaining the triangular shape, until you reach the end of the strip. Repeat with all the strips and remaining filling.
Place the folded triangles on the prepared baking sheet. Brush the tops lightly with more melted butter.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the triangles are golden brown and crisp.
Let the Crab Triangles cool slightly before serving. Enjoy them warm!
