Description
These crab and cheese crescent rolls are not just delicious; they’re an experience. They offer the perfect blend of textures and flavors, making them ideal for a brunch spread, a light lunch, or a sophisticated appetizer.
Ingredients
1 can (8 oz) crescent roll dough
4 oz cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup cooked crab meat, shredded
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1 tbsp green onions, chopped
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp Old Bay seasoning (optional)
1 tbsp melted butter (for brushing)
Instructions
Preheat oven to 375F (190C) as the crescent roll package directs.
In a bowl, combine cream cheese, crab meat, cheddar cheese, green onions, garlic powder, and Old Bay seasoning until mixed.
Unroll the crescent dough and separate into 8 triangles.
Spoon the crab filling onto the wide end of each triangle and roll up tightly.
Place rolls seam-side down on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Brush tops with melted butter.
Bake for 1012 minutes until golden brown and bubbly.
Cool slightly and serve warm. Enjoy!
Notes
Don’t overmix: Be gentle when folding in the crab meat to keep the pieces intact.
Seal the edges: Pinch the edges of the crescent rolls as you roll them to help prevent the filling from spilling out during baking.
Evenly distribute the filling: Make sure each roll has a similar amount of filling and size.
Baking time: Keep an eye on the rolls during baking. The baking time can vary depending on your oven.
Allow to cool: Let the rolls cool for a few minutes before serving to avoid burning yourself.
