Method
 

How to Make Crab Crescent Bites
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, crab meat, cheddar cheese, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, parsley, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
  3. Unroll the crescent dough and separate it into individual triangles.
  4. Spoon a generous amount of the filling onto the wide end of each triangle, leaving space at the edges.
  5. Starting from the wide end, roll each triangle towards the point and pinch the edges to seal.
  6. Apply the beaten egg to the tops of each rolled bite using a brush.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown and flaky.
