Ingredients
Dough
- 1 can crescent roll dough
Filling
- 1 cup lump crab meat (drained and flaked)
- 1/2 cup cream cheese (softened)
- 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup green onions (chopped)
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper (to taste)
Egg Wash
- 1 egg beaten (for egg wash)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it’s ready for baking the stuffed crescent bombs.
- Prepare Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the lump crab meat, softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, chopped green onions, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix everything thoroughly until well combined.
- Shape Crescents: Unroll the crescent dough and separate it into triangles following the package instructions to create individual portions.
- Fill Dough: Place about one tablespoon of the crab mixture at the wide end of each dough triangle, preparing for rolling.
- Roll and Seal: Starting from the wide end, roll up the dough tightly around the crab filling, pinching the edges carefully to seal and prevent leakage during baking.
- Arrange on Baking Sheet: Place the rolled crescent bombs onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spacing them apart to allow for expansion while baking.
- Apply Egg Wash: Brush the tops of each bomb with the beaten egg; this step will give them a beautiful golden color and shine when baked.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes until the crescent bombs are golden brown and puffed up, indicating they are cooked through.
- Cool and Serve: Remove the bombs from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving to enhance flavor and handle safely.
Notes
- Make sure the crab meat is well drained to avoid soggy filling.
- You can substitute cheddar cheese with your preferred cheese for a different flavor.
- For extra crispiness, bake on a preheated baking sheet.
- Serve warm for best taste and texture.
- These bombs can be prepared ahead and refrigerated before baking; just add a couple of extra minutes to the baking time if chilled.
