Ingredients

  • 1 can (8 oz) crescent roll dough
  • 1 cup lump crab meat (fresh or canned)
  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 2 green onions, chopped
  • 1 tsp Old Bay seasoning

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to prepare for baking the crescent bites.
  2. Prepare Filling: In a mixing bowl, thoroughly combine the softened cream cheese, lump crab meat, chopped green onions, and Old Bay seasoning until the mixture is evenly blended.
  3. Prepare Dough: Unroll the crescent roll dough and carefully separate it into individual triangles on a clean surface.
  4. Fill Dough: Spoon a generous amount of the crab filling onto the wide end of each crescent triangle. Fold the corners of the dough towards the center to enclose the filling securely.
  5. Arrange for Baking: Place the filled crescent bites onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spacing them evenly to allow for expansion during baking.
  6. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until the crescent bites turn a beautiful golden brown color.
  7. Cool and Serve: Remove from the oven and let the bites cool slightly. Serve warm and enjoy these flavorful crab-filled appetizers.

Notes

  • You can substitute fresh crab meat with canned if fresh is unavailable, but ensure it is well-drained.
  • Adjust Old Bay seasoning to taste if you prefer a milder or stronger flavor.
  • These bites can be prepared ahead of time and baked just before serving.
  • Serve with a dipping sauce like tartar or a spicy remoulade for added flavor.
