Cheesy Crab Crescents (Print-Friendly Version)
# What You'll Need:
01 -
1 can (8 oz) puffy triangle pastry dough
02 -
1/2 cup crab chunks (tinned, raw, or mock)
03 -
1/2 cup cream cheese, room temperature
04 -
1/4 cup grated cheddar
05 -
1 tbsp mayo
06 -
1 tbsp grainy mustard
07 -
1 tbsp fresh citrus juice
08 -
1/2 tsp powdered garlic
09 -
1/4 tsp ground pepper
10 -
Chopped herbs for topping (if you want)
# Step-by-Step Directions:
01 -
Turn your oven to 375°F (190°C). Cover your baking tray with some paper or just grease it up a bit.
02 -
Pop open the pastry can and pull apart all the triangle pieces.
03 -
Grab a bowl and throw in the crab, soft cheese, shredded cheddar, mayo, grainy mustard, citrus juice, powdered garlic, and pepper. Mix it all up good.
04 -
Drop a big spoonful of crab mix on the fat end of each triangle. Roll them up from the wide part to the pointy tip, making sure the edges stick together.
05 -
Put your rolled-up goodies on the tray with some room between them.
06 -
Stick them in the oven for 12-15 minutes until they turn nice and brown with a bit of crunch.
07 -
Pull them out and let them chill for a minute. Sprinkle some herbs on top if you're feeling fancy, and eat them while they're warm.
# Helpful Notes:
01 -
Want your filling extra smooth? Toss in a spoonful of ricotta or some shredded mozzarella.
02 -
Don't like crab? Try using tiny shrimp or leftover chicken instead.
03 -
For a kick of flavor, add more mustard or a few drops of hot sauce in your mix.
