How to Make Crab And Cream Cheese Bake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a medium bowl, combine softened cream cheese, chopped green onions, and fresh dill. Mix until well combined.
  3. Lightly grease a baking sheet.
  4. Unroll the crescent roll dough onto the prepared baking sheet. Do not separate the triangles.
  5. Gently press the dough into an 8x11-inch rectangle.
  6. Spread the crab meat evenly lengthwise down the center of the rectangle.
  7. Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the crab meat.
  8. Fold the long edges of the rectangle over the cream cheese mixture, slightly overlapping the filling.
  9. Pinch the edges firmly to seal completely.
  10. Arrange the sealed seam-side down on the baking sheet.
  11. Lightly brush the top of the crescent bake with the beaten egg yolk. Use a sharp knife to cut several slits into the top to allow steam to escape during baking.
  12. Bake for 20-22 minutes, or until golden brown and flaky.
  13. Let cool slightly before slicing into 12 portions.
  14. Serve warm and enjoy!
