There’s something magical about combining rich, buttery croissants with a luxurious, creamy crab dip that instantly transports your taste buds to a high-end brunch experience. This recipe is not just a dish—it’s a culinary masterpiece that blends flaky pastry, succulent crab meat, and bold seasoning into one unforgettable bite.

Perfect for brunch gatherings, special occasions, or when you just want to treat yourself, these croissants are crispy on the outside and filled with a rich, cheesy crab mixture inside. Whether you’re hosting a weekend brunch or impressing your guests with something extraordinary, these Crab-Stuffed Croissants are a surefire way to steal the show.

Ingredients

For the Crab Dip Filling:

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 shallot, finely diced
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp Old Bay seasoning
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1 tbsp fresh chives, chopped
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
  • 1/2 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
  • 1/2 cup crab claw meat
  • 1/2 cup lump crab meat

For the Croissants:

4 tbsp garlic butter (melted)

6 fresh croissants

Step 1: Make the Crab Dip Filling

  • In a large bowl, mix cream cheese, shallots, black pepper, Old Bay seasoning, minced garlic, Worcestershire sauce, parsley, chives, and mayonnaise until smooth.
  • Fold in mozzarella and cheddar cheese, stirring gently to keep the texture intact.
  • Carefully mix in crab claw meat and lump crab meat, making sure to keep the large chunks whole for the best texture.

Step 2: Prep the Croissants

  • Using a sharp knife, make a shallow slit on top of each croissant, creating an opening to hold the crab dip.
  • Be careful not to cut all the way through—just enough to stuff them without losing their structure.

Step 3: Fill the Croissants

  • Transfer the crab dip into a piping bag (or a Ziploc bag with the corner snipped off).
  • Pipe the filling into the croissants, ensuring each bite is generously packed with the creamy, flavorful mixture.

Step 4: Brush with Garlic Butter & Bake

  • Preheat oven to 375°F.
  • Place the stuffed croissants on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  • Brush the tops with melted garlic butter for a rich, golden finish.
  • Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the croissants are golden brown and the filling is heated through.

Step 5: Serve & Enjoy!

Serve warm and enjoy the perfect balance of creamy, cheesy crab dip and flaky, buttery croissants.

Brush with extra garlic butter straight out of the oven for maximum flavor.

Pro Tips & Serving Suggestions

Fresh Ingredients Matter: Use high-quality crab meat and fresh herbs for the best flavor. Fresh lump crab meat will give the dish a sweet, rich seafood taste.

Garlic Butter Upgrade: Add a pinch of rosemary or thyme to the melted butter before brushing for extra depth.

Practice Your Piping: If you’re new to piping, practice on parchment paper first to get a feel for even distribution.

Make It a Meal: Serve with a light citrus salad or roasted asparagus to balance the richness.

Perfect Pairing: Enjoy with a glass of crisp white wine or a refreshing iced tea for the ultimate brunch experience.
