Spoon crab mixture onto the wide end of each crescent triangle.
-
Roll each triangle from the wide end to the point, sealing edges carefully.

Notes
Use fresh or canned crab meat; thaw frozen crab fully before use.
Don’t overfill crescents to avoid leaking.
Variations: substitute crab with shrimp or lobster, add hot sauce or jalapeños for spice, try different cheeses, or add fresh herbs.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven to keep crispy.
Freeze unbaked bites on a sheet, then store in freezer bags; bake from frozen with extra time.
