Method

Crab Puff Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Crab Puff Filling

    In a mixing bowl, combine the Dungeness crab meat, cream cheese, egg, green onions, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until all ingredients are well incorporated.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Puff Pastry

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Roll out the puff pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface and cut it into 4 equal squares.

  3. 3

    Fill the Pastries

    Place a generous tablespoon of the crab filling in the center of each pastry square. Fold the corners of the pastry over the filling to create a pocket and seal the edges by pressing them together.

  4. 4

    Brush with Olive Oil

    Transfer the filled pastries onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush the tops with olive oil for a golden finish.

Baking the Crab Puffs

  1. 5

    Bake the Puffs

    Bake the crab puffs in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until they are golden brown and puffed.

  2. 6

    Cool

    Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving.

Peanut-Mustard Dipping Sauce Preparation

  1. 7

    Mix the Dipping Sauce

    In a small bowl, whisk together the peanut butter, soy sauce, Dijon mustard, honey, lime juice, and water until smooth and creamy. Adjust the consistency with more water if needed.
