Calories: 214kcal
Equipment
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup whipped cream cheese
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon paprika
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 3 large eggs divided
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 2 tablespoons shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 lb jumbo lump crab meat
- 2 sheets puff pastry dough sliced into a total of 18 even squares
- 2 tablespoons fresh chives finely chopped
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400F.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the whipped cream cheese, mayonnaise, Worcestershire sauce, Old Bay, lemon juice, 2 eggs, and baking powder. Next fold in the crab meat, and mozzarella cheese with a rubber spatula. Careful not to break up the crab meat! Chill the mixture in the fridge for 30 minutes.
- Meanwhile, cut each puff pastry into 9 even squares, then trace a square in the center of each puff pastry square, about a half inch from the edge, without cutting all the way through. This is just to help the edges puff up while keeping the center flat.
- Spoon 1 tablespoon of the crab dip mixture into the center of each puff pastry square. Beat the remaining egg in a small mixing bowl and lightly brush the edges of each puff pastry with egg using a silicone pastry brush.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes on a parchment paper lined baking sheet, or until the puff pastry turns golden brown. Then garnish with a sprinkle of old bay and fresh chives and serve.
