Ingredients
  

Pastry
  • 1 tube (8 oz) crescent roll dough seamless sheet preferred
Filling
  • 8 oz cream cheese softened
  • 0.5 cup lump crab meat or imitation crab finely chopped
  • 0.25 cup green onions finely chopped
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 0.5 tsp onion powder
  • 0.5 tsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 0.25 tsp black pepper
  • 1 pinch salt to taste
Serving
  • 0.5 cup sweet and sour sauce for dipping

Equipment

  • Mixing Bowl
  • Baking sheet
  • Parchment paper
  • Serrated knife

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a bowl, mix softened cream cheese, crab meat, green onions, garlic powder, onion powder, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper until well combined.
  3. Unroll the crescent dough onto a flat surface. Pinch any perforated seams together to create one solid rectangle.
  4. Spread the cream cheese and crab mixture evenly over the dough, leaving a slight border at the edges.
  5. Starting at the long end, tightly roll the dough into a log shape. Pinch the final edge to seal.
  6. Using a serrated knife, cut the log into 1/2-inch to 3/4-inch slices.
  7. Place slices flat on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 10-14 minutes until golden brown and bubbly.
  8. Serve warm with sweet and sour sauce for dipping.

Notes

Chill the rolled dough log in the fridge for 15 minutes before cutting to get cleaner slices.
