- 2 green onions, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning
Instructions

- In a mixing bowl, combine cream cheese, crab meat, green onions, and Old Bay seasoning until well-blended.
- Unroll the crescent dough and separate it into triangles.

- Arrange on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes until golden brown.
- Let cool slightly before serving warm.
Notes
For substitutions, use imitation crab or canned tuna instead of lump crab meat; low-fat cream cheese also works well. To make ahead, assemble and refrigerate bites up to 6 hours before baking. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days, and reheat in an oven for best texture. If the filling leaks during baking, ensure crescent edges are well-sealed. Overstuffing may cause the dough to tear.
