These delightful Crab Puff Pastry Bites are just the thing for Holiday parties! A light, flavorful appetizer that is easy to make in 30 minutes.
Ingredients
- 2 sheets of puff pastry dough, thawed
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 8 oz package imitation crab
- 2 green onions, chopped
- 1/2 tablespoon lemon juice
- salt and pepper
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400. Line 2 large cookie sheets with parchment paper.
- Place the first sheet of puff pastry on a cutting board and use a rolling pin to roll it out so it is a couple inches longer. Use a pizza cutter to cut into 12 equal squares. Repeat with the second sheet of puff pastry.
- In a medium bowl, mix the cream cheese, imitation crab, green onions, lemon juice, salt and pepper.
- Place the crab mixture by tablespoon-fulls into the center of each puff pastry square. Pull opposite corners of the puff pastry square up and press together, leaving the other two corners down (see video). Place the bites onto the cookie sheets.
- Bake for 20 minutes or until puff pastry is golden brown. Serve warm.
Notes
Real crab meat can be used if you prefer.

Can these puffs be premade, left in the icebox
& baked later?
