Main Ingredients

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Filling

    In a medium skillet over medium heat, sauté the chopped mushrooms and minced garlic until the mushrooms are tender and any liquid has evaporated, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

  2. 2

    Mix the Ingredients

    In a large bowl, combine the sautéed mushrooms, crabmeat, cream cheese, green onions, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Puff Pastry

    Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Roll out the puff pastry on a lightly floured surface and cut into squares or circles, depending on your desired shape.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Pastry

    Place a generous spoonful of the crab mixture in the center of each pastry square/circle. Fold over and seal the edges with a fork or your fingers. Cut small slits on top to allow steam to escape.

  5. 5

    Bake

    Place the pastries on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown.
