Ingredients

  • 1 cup lump crab meat, drained and flaked

  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened

  • ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese

  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise

  • 2 green onions, finely chopped

  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder

  • ½ teaspoon Worcestershire sauce

  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice

  • ¼ teaspoon salt

  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper

  • 1 package refrigerated crescent roll dough or puff pastry

  • 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  2. In a mixing bowl, combine cream cheese, mayonnaise, shredded cheddar cheese, garlic powder, Worcestershire sauce, lemon juice, salt, and pepper until smooth.

  3. Gently fold in the crab meat and chopped green onions until evenly distributed.

  4. Roll out the crescent dough or puff pastry and cut it into small squares.

  5. Place a spoonful of the crab mixture in the center of each square.

  6. Fold the corners of the dough toward the center and pinch lightly to seal, forming small puffs.

  7. Arrange the puffs on the prepared baking sheet with space between each piece.

  8. Brush the tops lightly with beaten egg for a golden finish.

  9. Bake for 15–18 minutes, or until the pastry is puffed and golden brown.

  10. Allow the crab puffs to cool slightly before serving.

Notes

Avoid overfilling the pastry to prevent the filling from leaking during baking.Puff pastry creates a flakier texture, while crescent dough gives a softer bite.Fresh lump crab meat provides the best flavor, but canned or imitation crab works as well.Serve warm for the best texture and flavor
