Ingredients
- 1 sheet puff pastry sheets
- 1 cup cooked crabmeat
- 4 tbsp cream cheese
- 1 stalk green onion
- 0.25 tsp garlic powder
- 0.5 tsp Old Bay seasoning
- 1 large egg
- 1 tbsp water
- 0 to taste salt
- 0 to taste pepper
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
Thaw the puff pastry sheet according to the package instructions, if it’s frozen.
Step 3
In a medium bowl, combine the cooked crabmeat, cream cheese, finely chopped green onion, garlic powder, Old Bay seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mix well until fully incorporated.
Step 4
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the puff pastry sheet slightly to smooth the edges and make it even.
Step 5
Cut the sheet into four equal squares.
Step 6
Place a generous spoonful of the crabmeat mixture into the center of each pastry square.
Step 7
In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and water to create an egg wash.
Step 8
Brush the edges of each square with the egg wash, then fold each square into a triangle, pressing the edges together to seal tightly.
Step 9
Crimp the edges with a fork for a decorative finish, and brush the top of each puff with the remaining egg wash.
Step 10
Place the filled puffs onto the prepared baking sheet and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and flaky.
Step 11
Allow the puffs to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm!
