Equipment

  • Mixing Bowl
  • Baking Sheet
  • Oven
  • Parchment Paper

Ingredients
  

  • 1 can crescent roll dough 8 oz
  • 8 oz crab meat drained and flaked
  • 4 oz cream cheese softened
  • 1/4 cup green onions chopped
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp lemon juice
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1/4 cup shredded cheese cheddar or mozzarella

Instructions
 

  • In a medium mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese with the flaked crab meat. Stir in chopped green onions, garlic powder, lemon juice, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly until creamy.
  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
  • Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate it into triangles along the perforations.
  • Spoon about 1 to 2 tablespoons of the crab mixture onto the wider end of each crescent dough triangle. Sprinkle shredded cheese on top.
  • Starting at the wide end, roll the dough towards the pointed end, enclosing the filling. Place rolls on the baking sheet with seam side down.
  • Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until golden brown and puffed up.
  • Remove from oven and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm.

Notes

  • Do not overfill the crescent dough triangles to prevent leaks during baking.
  • Drain crab meat thoroughly for best texture.
  • Soften cream cheese beforehand for easy mixing.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
  • Freeze wrapped rolls for up to 1 month; bake from frozen at 375°F for 15-18 minutes.
