Instructions

  1. Separate egg. Place 5 puff pastry squares on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Cut out the remaining puff pastry squares so that a 2 cm wide edge remains. Brush this edge with egg white and glue onto the puff pastry squares. Prick the bottom several times with a fork. Place the cut squares on the baking sheet as well. Brush everything with the beaten egg yolk and bake in the preheated oven at 220 ° C for 10 to 15 minutes.
  2. Take out the small squares beforehand.
  3. For the filling, sauté the crabs in heated butter, add the crushed clove of garlic, spring onions cut into rings and paprika cut into strips. Season with salt, pepper and lemon juice and let everything stew for about 5 minutes. Mix with creme fraiche and dill and pour into the puff pastry boxes. Put the little lids on top.

About Editorial Staff

The Boss Kitchen editorial staff oversees content review, fact-checking, and recipe verification across the site. Published articles pass through the editorial team before going live, ensuring ingredient lists, techniques, cooking times, and nutritional claims hold up in a home kitchen. The team coordinates contributions across the site writers, handles reader corrections, and maintains consistency in measurement conventions, safety guidance, and dietary labeling. Posts under this byline typically represent team-reviewed reference material, site announcements, or editorial roundups rather than individual-author features, and they are held to the same sourcing standards as bylined recipe and product coverage.
