🦀 Crab Crescent Bites Delight – A Savory, Seafood-Packed Snack!
These Crab Crescent Bites are cheesy, creamy, and full of flavor with a hint of seafood seasoning. A delightful treat that’s perfect for parties or a special snack!
🛒 Ingredients:
1 (8 oz) can refrigerated crescent roll dough
1 cup cooked crab meat, chopped (fresh, canned, or imitation)
4 oz cream cheese, softened
2 tbsp mayonnaise
2 green onions, finely chopped
1 tsp Old Bay seasoning or any seafood seasoning
1/2 cup shredded mozzarella or cheddar cheese
Salt and pepper to taste
🍴 Instructions:
Prepare Crescent Dough:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Unroll the crescent roll dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, separating the dough into individual triangles.
Make the Filling:
In a bowl, combine the cream cheese, mayonnaise, green onions, and Old Bay seasoning. Mix well until smooth and creamy.
Fold in the chopped crab meat and shredded cheese. Add salt and pepper to taste.
Assemble the Bites:
Place a spoonful of the crab mixture onto the wide end of each crescent roll triangle.
Carefully roll up each triangle, starting from the wide end, encasing the crab filling inside the dough. Pinch the edges to seal them.
Bake:
Bake the bites in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown and the crescent rolls are fully cooked.
Serve:
Once baked, remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy these delicious, savory crab crescent bites warm!
🍽 Pro Tips:
Crab Meat: Fresh crab meat works best, but canned or imitation crab also works in a pinch.
Cheese Variations: Feel free to use cheddar, monterey jack, or any cheese of your choice!
Dipping Sauce: Serve these bites with a creamy dipping sauce like ranch or a tangy tartar sauce for added flavor.
🔄 Variations:
Spicy: Add a little hot sauce or cayenne pepper to the crab mixture for a spicy kick.
Herb-Inspired: Try adding some dried thyme or parsley for a fresh herby twist.
Mini Crab Puffs: Use puff pastry instead of crescent rolls for an even flakier, more buttery version.
