Ingredients
  

  • 1 can 8 oz refrigerated crescent roll dough
  • 1 cup cooked crab meat shredded
  • 1 cup cream cheese softened
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/4 cup green onions chopped
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

  3. Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate it into triangles on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  4. Place a generous tablespoon of the crab mixture at the wide end of each crescent triangle.
  5. Roll the dough from the wide end to the point, enclosing the filling, and place seam-side down on the baking sheet.
  6. Brush the tops of the crescent rolls with the beaten egg for a golden finish.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown.
  8. Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving.
