Ingredients

• 10 sheets Phyllo dough sheets
• 225 grams Crab meat
• 150 grams Cream cheese
• 30 grams Chopped green onions
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 60 grams Butter

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

In a mixing bowl, combine the crab meat, cream cheese, green onions, lemon juice, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are fully incorporated.

Step 3

Melt the butter in a small saucepan over low heat or in a microwave-safe bowl.

Step 4

Take one sheet of phyllo dough, and lightly brush it with melted butter using a pastry brush.

Step 5

Place another sheet on top of the buttered phyllo dough and brush it with butter as well. Repeat this process until you have 5 sheets stacked.

Step 6

Cut the stacked phyllo dough into squares, approximately 4x4 inches.

Step 7

Place about 1 tablespoon of the crab mixture in the center of each phyllo square.

Step 8

Bring the corners of the phyllo square towards the center, pinching them together to form a small bundle or puff.

Step 9

Repeat steps 4 through 8 for the remaining phyllo sheets and crab mixture.

Step 10

Place the crab puffs on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Step 11

Brush the tops of the puffs with any remaining butter.

Step 12

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the puffs are golden brown and crispy.

Step 13

Remove the puffs from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving.
