Simple and delicious turnover baked in the oven. Fresh or pre-thawed Opilio crab meat and ready-made puff pastry are used for the dish.

Preheat the oven to 180 °C.

Be careful when cutting the crab. There are long white thin plates inside the meat of the phalanges. They have to be removed as they are inedible.
