170 g cream cheese, softened
03 -
60 ml mayonnaise

# Instructions:
01 -
Preheat oven to 190°C. Line a baking sheet or baking stone with parchment paper.
02 -
Unroll crescent dough onto a clean, lightly floured surface. Pinch seams together to form a single rectangle and roll to achieve uniform thickness. Cut dough into 24 equal squares.
03 -
Combine softened cream cheese, mayonnaise, crab meat, green onions, cayenne pepper, and salt in a mixing bowl. Stir until thoroughly blended.
04 -
Spoon equal portions of the crab filling onto the centre of each dough square. Overlap opposite corners and pinch gently to seal.

Arrange filled crescents on prepared baking sheet. Bake at 190°C for 10–15 minutes, or until pastry is golden brown.
# Notes:
01 -
To lighten the dish, substitute low-fat cream cheese and mayonnaise. Avoid overfilling to prevent leakage during baking.
02 -
Dust the rolling pin lightly with flour to prevent dough from sticking.
