Description

Delicious Crab Rangoon Wonton Cups featuring a creamy crab filling baked inside crispy wonton wrappers, perfect for appetizers or party snacks.


Ingredients

Scale

Crab Rangoon Filling

  • 1 cup crab meat (imitation or canned lump crab meat that has been drained very well)
  • 8 ounces cream cheese (at room temperature)
  • ¼ cup sour cream
  • 2 cloves garlic (finely minced)
  • 4 green onions (thinly sliced, white and green parts)
  • 2 teaspoons soy sauce
  • ½ teaspoon sugar
  • 1 cup mozzarella cheese

Wonton Cups

  • 24 wonton wrappers
  • Cooking spray or cooking oil of choice

For Serving

  • 1 green onion (thinly sliced, for garnish)
  • Thai Sweet Chili Sauce (for dipping)
  • Spicy Mayo (for dipping)


Instructions

  1. Preheat and prepare muffin tin: Preheat oven to 350°F. Coat a 24-count mini muffin tin with nonstick cooking spray or brush with cooking oil of choice.
  2. Form wonton cups: Press one wonton wrapper into each space of the muffin tin. Spray or brush the tops of the wonton wrappers with cooking spray or oil. Bake until golden brown, about 8 minutes, watching carefully to avoid burning.
  3. Soften cream cheese: If cream cheese is not at room temperature, microwave it for 10 seconds to soften.
  4. Make filling: In a medium bowl, combine crab meat, softened cream cheese, sour cream, minced garlic, sliced green onions, soy sauce, sugar, and mozzarella cheese. Mix until evenly combined.
  5. Fill wonton cups: Spoon a heaping tablespoon of filling into each baked wonton cup. Cover the muffin tin with foil and bake for 12 minutes until filling is warmed through and bubbly.
  6. Cool and garnish: Remove wonton cups immediately from the muffin tin and place on a wire rack or paper towel lined plate to keep crisp. Garnish each with sliced green onions.
  7. Serve: Serve warm with Thai Sweet Chili Sauce and Spicy Mayo for dipping. Enjoy!

Notes

  • Wonton wraps can be found in the refrigerated section near tofu and salad dressings or substitute with egg roll or spring roll wrappers.
  • If no 24-count mini muffin tin is available, use a 12-count regular muffin tin and place two wonton wrappers per cup to form larger cups, doubling the filling amount to 2 tablespoons each.
  • Watch wonton cups carefully during the first bake to prevent burning as they brown quickly.
