Ingredients

• 8 ounces crab meat
• 8 ounces cream cheese
• 3 stalks green onions
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 2 sheets puff pastry sheets
• 1 egg
• 1 tablespoon water
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Drain and gently flake the crab meat. In a large bowl, combine the crab meat and cream cheese until smooth.

Step 3

Chop the green onions finely and add them to the crab mixture along with garlic powder, Worcestershire sauce, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Mix all ingredients until well combined.

Step 4

Lightly flour a surface and roll out one puff pastry sheet. Cut the pastry sheet into 6 equal squares. Repeat with the second puff pastry sheet.

Step 5

Place approximately 1 tablespoon of the crab mixture in the center of each pastry square.

Step 6

In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and water to create an egg wash.

Step 7

Fold the corners of the pastry over the filling to the center and seal by pinching the edges together. Ensure there are no gaps for the filling to escape.

Step 8

Brush each crab puff with the egg wash using a pastry brush.

Step 9

Place the puffs onto the prepared baking sheet.

Step 10

Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until the puffs are golden brown and the pastry is puffed.

Step 11

Cool slightly on a wire rack before serving. Enjoy the crab puffs warm.
