Instructions
-
Preheat Oven: Heat your oven to 375Β°F (190Β°C) to prepare for baking.
-
Prepare Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine mayonnaise, diced green pepper, diced celery, chopped eggs, lemon juice, cayenne pepper, shredded colby cheese, shredded mozzarella cheese, and crab meat. Set aside, reserving 1/4 cup of the shredded cheese for later.
-
Prepare Dough: Separate the crescent dough into 4 rectangles, then press the perforations together to seal, forming 4 solid rectangles.
-
Fill and Roll: Divide the seafood filling evenly among the 4 rectangles, placing it in the center of each. Roll up the dough around the filling, ensuring the seam is sealed tightly.
-
Arrange on Baking Sheet: Place the rolled-up melts seam side down on a greased or parchment-lined baking sheet, allowing some space between each.
-
Add Cheese Topping: Sprinkle the tops of the rolls with the reserved 1/4 cup of shredded cheese, evenly distributing it among them.
-
Bake: Transfer the baking sheet to the preheated oven and bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the melts are golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
-
Serve: Once baked to perfection, remove the seafood cheese melts from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving. Enjoy these delectable treats as a delicious appetizer, snack, or part of a larger meal.
