Crab and Cream Cheese Crescent Ring
Crab and Cream Cheese Crescent Ring is an easy baked appetizer made with crescent dough, crab, cream cheese, and green onions.
Ingredients
- 16 crescent rolls 2 8-ounce cans
- 8 ounces cream cheese softened
- 16 ounces crab meat finely chopped
- 4 green onions finely chopped
- 1 egg white
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a large baking sheet or line it with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, finely chopped crab meat, and green onions until evenly mixed.
- Separate the crescent roll dough into 16 triangles.
- Arrange the triangles in a circle on the prepared baking sheet, positioning the short sides toward the center and allowing the pointed ends to face outward. The arrangement should resemble a sun.
- Spoon the crab and cream cheese mixture evenly around the inner portion of the dough circle.
- Bring each pointed end of dough over the filling toward the center. Tuck the tip underneath the inner edge of the dough to secure it.
- Continue around the circle until the entire Crab and Cream Cheese Crescent Ring is formed.
- Lightly brush the exposed crescent dough with egg white.
- Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until the crescent dough is puffed and golden brown.
- Allow the ring to cool for about 5 minutes before slicing and serving.
Notes
For a lighter variation, reduced-fat cream cheese can replace regular cream cheese. You can also add finely chopped parsley, dill, or a little lemon zest to brighten the crab cream cheese filling.
