Buttery Crescent Rolls Stuffed with Creamy Crab & Cheddar
Recipe
Ingredients:
1 can (8 oz) refrigerated crescent roll dough
1 cup cooked crab meat (fresh, canned, or imitation), drained and shredded
4 oz cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
1 tablespoon green onions, finely chopped
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika
Salt and pepper to taste
1 tablespoon melted butter (optional, for brushing)
Parsley, finely chopped (for garnish)
Directions:
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a mixing bowl, combine crab meat, cream cheese, shredded cheddar, green onions, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix until smooth and well blended.
Unroll crescent dough and separate into triangles.
Spoon about a tablespoon of the crab mixture onto the wide end of each triangle.
Roll up each triangle from the wide end to the tip, forming a crescent shape.
Place crescents on the baking sheet, seam-side down. Brush with melted butter if desired.
Bake for 11–13 minutes, or until golden brown and the cheese is bubbling slightly.
