Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lining a baking sheet with parchment paper. While the oven preheats, make your filling. In a medium bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, shredded cheese, and cooked crab meat. Add the chopped green onion, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix everything until smooth and evenly combined. If you’re feeling adventurous, now’s a good time to stir in a touch of lemon zest or a dash of hot sauce.

Next, unroll the crescent dough and separate it into individual triangles. Place a heaping teaspoon of the crab and cheese filling at the wider end of each triangle. Carefully roll up the dough, starting at the wide end and working your way toward the tip, encasing the filling inside. Arrange the filled crescent rolls on your prepared baking sheet, making sure they’re spaced apart to allow for expansion as they bake.

If desired, brush the tops lightly with melted butter or an egg wash for extra shine and color. Bake in the preheated oven for 11–13 minutes, or until the rolls are golden brown and puffed. Once baked, remove from the oven and allow them to cool slightly before serving. These crab and cheese filled crescent rolls are best enjoyed warm, but they’re still delicious at room temperature, making them a versatile addition to any appetizer spread.
