Ingredients
  

  • 8 oz cream cheese softened
  • 8 oz lump crab meat drained
  • 2 green onions finely chopped
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley chopped
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

  • 1 large egg beaten

  1. In a bowl, combine cream cheese, crab meat, green onions, parsley, Worcestershire sauce, Old Bay, garlic powder, salt, and pepper; mix gently.
  2. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  3. Unroll crescent dough and separate into triangles.
  4. Place 1 tablespoon filling on the wide end of each triangle and roll into crescents.
  5. Brush with beaten egg and sprinkle optional toppings.

Notes

Drain crab well to prevent soggy crescents. Chill dough briefly if too sticky for easy shaping.
