For an extra touch of elegance, consider toasting the croissants lightly before adding the crab mixture. This will enhance their buttery flavor and provide a pleasing textural contrast. Feel free to experiment with other cheeses, such as Gruyere or Parmesan, in place of the Asiago. If you can't find blue crab, lump crab meat or a combination of white and claw meat will work well. For a spicier kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or a dash of hot sauce to the crab mixture. These croissants are delicious served with a side of mixed greens or a light vinaigrette.
