Delicious and easy-to-make Crab Crescent Bites featuring creamy crab filling wrapped in flaky crescent roll dough, seasoned with Old Bay and green onions, perfect for appetizers or party snacks.

Ingredients

Scale

Crab Filling

  • 1 cup lump crab meat (fresh or canned)
  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 2 green onions, chopped
  • 1 tsp Old Bay seasoning

Dough

  • 1 can (8 oz) crescent roll dough

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to prepare for baking the bites.
  2. Mix Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, lump crab meat, chopped green onions, and Old Bay seasoning. Mix thoroughly until well-blended for a creamy and flavorful filling.
  3. Prepare Dough: Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate it into individual triangles as per the package instructions.
  4. Assemble Bites: Place a spoonful of the crab mixture onto each dough triangle. Fold the corners of the triangle towards the center to enclose the filling, creating little pockets.
  5. Bake: Arrange the filled crescent bites on a parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing them slightly apart. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the dough is golden brown and cooked through.
  6. Cool and Serve: Remove from the oven and let the bites cool slightly before serving warm for the best taste experience.

Notes

  • Use fresh lump crab meat for best flavor, but canned works well for convenience.
  • Adjust Old Bay seasoning to taste if you prefer a spicier or milder bite.
  • These bites can be prepared ahead and baked just before serving.
  • Serve with cocktail sauce, tartar sauce, or a squeeze of lemon for added zest.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
