Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 sheets Puff pastry sheets
- 250 grams Crabmeat (lump or claw, drained and picked over for shells)
- 120 grams Cream cheese (softened)
- 2 tablespoons Mayonnaise
- 2 stalks Green onions (finely chopped)
- 1 teaspoon Lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoons Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 piece Egg (beaten, for egg wash)
- 1 tablespoon Water
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Thaw the puff pastry sheets according to package instructions, usually about 15–20 minutes at room temperature.
In a mixing bowl, combine the crabmeat, cream cheese, mayonnaise, chopped green onions, lemon juice, garlic powder, Old Bay seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well blended.
Lightly flour your work surface and roll out the puff pastry sheets to smooth out any creases.
Cut each sheet into 3-inch squares using a sharp knife or pizza cutter.
Place about 1 tablespoon of the crab mixture in the center of each square.
In a small bowl, whisk together the beaten egg and water to make an egg wash.
Brush the edges of the puff pastry squares with the egg wash, then fold each square into a triangle, enclosing the filling. Seal the edges tightly by pressing them together with a fork.
Arrange the sealed puffs on the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 1 inch of space between each puff.
Brush the tops of the puffs with the remaining egg wash to give them a golden, shiny finish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18–20 minutes, or until the puff pastry is golden brown and crisp.
Remove from the oven and allow the puffs to cool slightly before serving.
Serve warm as a delightful appetizer or party snack!
