Ingredients
Scale
- 1 package (8 ounces) refrigerated crescent roll dough
- 1 cup lump crab meat (fresh or canned, drained well)
- ½ cup cream cheese, softened
- ¼ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- ¼ cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 tbsp mayonnaise
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp onion powder
- ¼ tsp paprika
- ¼ tsp salt (adjust to taste)
- ¼ tsp black pepper
- 1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (plus extra for garnish)
- 1 tbsp lemon juice

Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Filling
- In a mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, mozzarella, and cheddar cheese. Stir until smooth.
- Add the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.
- Gently fold in the crab meat, lemon juice, and chopped parsley. Be careful not to break the crab apart too much.
Step 2: Assemble the Crescent Rolls
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Unroll the crescent dough and separate it into 8 triangles.
- Place a spoonful of the crab and cheese filling onto the wider end of each triangle.
- Gently roll the dough, starting from the wide end and working toward the tip, enclosing the filling inside.
- Arrange the filled rolls on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them slightly apart.
Step 3: Bake to Golden Perfection
- Brush the tops of the crescent rolls with the beaten egg for a shiny, golden finish.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the rolls are puffed and golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and let them cool for 5 minutes before serving.
Step 4: Serve & Enjoy
- Garnish with extra chopped parsley for a fresh touch.
- Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce, such as garlic aioli, honey mustard, or a light lemon butter sauce.
