MINI CRAB CROISSANTS
Steps:
- Split the croissants open sandwich-style but not all the way, so they have a hinge at the back. Spoon in 1 tablespoon of seafood salad, then tuck 1 or 2 baby spinach leaves underneath. Insert 2 toothpicks into the top middle of each croissant and press a caper onto the point of each toothpick for crab eyes. To make crab claws, cut the grape tomatoes open from bottom end to stem end but not all the way, leaving them hinged. Stick a toothpick into each tomato at the stem end, then insert a toothpick with a tomato into the point of each end of each croissant. Arrange them on a serving plate.

Steps:
- 1. Preheat oven according to the croissant package. Seed and dice the jalepeno. Open and drain cans of crab or shrimp. (tuna and salmon might work well also)
- 2. In a mixing bowl combine all the ingredients, mixing well. You can make a little go a long way if when you open the croissants you cut them in half. This is where the as many as you like for servings comes in. :-}
- 3. Fill the croissants and roll. Place them on a baking sheet and bake according to package directions. I hope these are as successful for you as they have been for me.

Number Of Ingredients 11
Steps:
- Run your fingers through the crab meat to remove any bits of shell. In a bowl, combine the celery, onion, mayo, chili, hot sauce and Worcestershire. Add the crab meat to the bowl and mix with a fork. Season with salt and pepper, to your taste. Pile salad on lettuce leaves in croissants. Cut each croissant in thirds on angles, following the shape of the pastry. Arrange sandwiches on a plate and serve. This recipe yields 12 pieces, 6 servings.
Tips:
- Use fresh crab meat. Fresh crab meat has a sweeter and more delicate flavor than canned crab meat. If you can, buy crab meat from a local fish market or seafood counter.
- Don't overcook the crab meat. Crab meat is delicate and can easily be overcooked. Cook it just until it is heated through, about 2-3 minutes.
- Use a variety of cheeses. A combination of cheeses, such as cream cheese, cheddar cheese, and Parmesan cheese, will give your crab croissants a rich and flavorful filling.
- Add some herbs and spices. Herbs and spices, such as dill, parsley, garlic, and onion powder, will add flavor and depth to your crab croissants.
- Be careful not to overstuff the croissants. Overstuffed croissants will be difficult to fold and will likely burst open during baking.
- Bake the croissants until they are golden brown. The croissants should be baked until they are a deep golden brown, about 20-25 minutes.
Conclusion:
Crab croissants are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or snack. They are perfect for parties or potlucks and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With a little creativity, you can customize your crab croissants to your own taste preferences. So get creative and have fun!
