Description

These delicious Crab Crescent Bites are filled with a creamy crab and cheese mixture, baked to perfection in flaky crescent rolls. A savory treat perfect for parties or a cozy snack


Ingredients

Scale
  • For the Filling:

    • 8 oz cream cheese, softened

    • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or a mix of cheeses)

    • 1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce

    • 1 tablespoon lemon juice

    • 1/4 cup mayonnaise

    • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

    • 1/2 teaspoon dried dill (or fresh dill, chopped)

    • Salt and pepper to taste

    • 1/2 cup imitation crab meat (or real crab meat, if preferred), finely chopped

  • For the Crescent Rolls:

    • 1 can refrigerated crescent rolls (8 triangles)

  • Optional Toppings:

    • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

    • Lemon wedges (for serving)


Instructions

  • Prepare the Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, Worcestershire sauce, lemon juice, mayonnaise, garlic powder, dried dill, salt, and pepper. Mix until smooth and well combined. Fold in the chopped crab meat gently, ensuring it’s evenly distributed throughout the mixture. Set aside.

  • Assemble the Bites: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat. Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate into 8 triangles. If the dough has perforated lines, press them together to form larger triangles.

  • Fill and Roll: Place about 1-2 teaspoons of the crab filling onto the wide end of each crescent triangle. Spread it evenly but leave a small border around the edges. Roll up the triangles tightly, starting from the wide end and sealing the edges by pressing lightly. Arrange the rolled bites seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.

  • Bake to Perfection: Brush the tops of the crescent bites lightly with melted butter (optional, for extra golden color). Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the rolls are golden brown and puffed up.

 

  • Garnish and Serve: Once baked, remove the crab crescent bites from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley for added flair. Serve warm alongside lemon wedges for squeezing over the top if desired.


Notes

  • These crescent bites are best served fresh out of the oven, but they can also be made ahead of time and reheated.

  • If using real crab meat, ensure it’s finely chopped to fit within the crescent roll.

 

  • You can add a little grated parmesan to the filling for extra flavor.
