Equipment
- 1 baking sheet
- 1 parchment paper (optional)
- 1 mixing bowl
- 1 spoon or spatula
Ingredients
- 1 can (8 oz) crescent roll dough
- 1 cup lump crab meat, drained
- ½ cup cream cheese, softened
- ¼ cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the crab meat, cream cheese, cheddar cheese, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, parsley, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
- Open the can of crescent roll dough and unroll it on a flat surface. Separate the dough into triangles along the perforated lines.
- Take a spoonful of the crab mixture and place it in the center of each crescent triangle.
- Fold the points of the dough over the filling, pinching to seal the edges. You can also roll them up, starting from the larger end of the triangle.
- Place the prepared bites on the baking sheet, leaving some space between each.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the crescents are golden brown and the filling is hot.
- Remove from the oven and allow to cool for a few minutes before serving.

Feel free to experiment with different cheeses or add spices to customize the flavor.
