Step-by-Step Instructions for Crab Crescent Bites
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese, lump crab meat, finely chopped green onions, and a sprinkle of Old Bay seasoning. Blend until smooth.
  3. Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate it into triangles. Lay them flat with points facing outward.
  4. Spoon a generous amount of the crab mixture onto the wide end of each triangle and fold the corners to encase the filling. Pinch seams to seal.
