Filling Ingredients
- 8 oz lump crab meat (or imitation crab, chopped)
- 4 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tbsp fresh chives, chopped
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp Old Bay seasoning
- Salt & black pepper, to taste
Dough Ingredients
- 1 can (8 oz) refrigerated crescent roll dough
- 1 egg beaten (for egg wash)
- 1 tbsp Everything Bagel seasoning (or sesame seeds & garlic flakes)
Instructions
Preparation
- In a bowl, mix the lump crab meat with softened cream cheese, shredded mozzarella, mayonnaise, chopped chives, garlic powder, and Old Bay seasoning. Use salt and pepper to taste.
Assembly
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Unroll the crescent dough and separate it into triangles.
- On the wider end of each triangle, spoon a small dollop of the crab filling.
- Roll the dough around the filling, starting from the wide end while tucking in the sides slightly to secure the filling.
Baking
- Lightly brush each roll with the beaten egg to achieve a lovely golden finish.
- Sprinkle Everything Bagel seasoning on top for an extra pop of flavor.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until they are golden brown and crispy.
Serving
- Once baked, let the rolls cool slightly before serving. They pair wonderfully with garlic butter or lemon aioli for dipping.
Notes
Make Ahead: Prepare the filling ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator for up to a day before assembling the rolls. Extras such as panko breadcrumbs can add a crunch to the top.
