Baked Crab Wontons

Tonight's appetizer...

Baked Crab Wontons

Ingredient list:

4 oz cream cheese

1 generous tsp minced garlic

1/4 tsp soy sauce

1/4 tsp worcestershire sauce

1/4 tsp onion powder

2 sprigs of green onion thinly sliced

3-4 imitation crab sticks sliced/chopped

Wonton wrappers

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. 

Soften the cream cheese for about 20 seconds in the microwave or leave out until room temperature.

Slice green onions. Dice the crab sticks and set aside.

Add the following ingredients to the cream cheese and mix together: minced garlic, soy sauce, worcestershire sauce, onion powder, green onions, and then crab.

Spray the mini cupcake pan (or pan of your choice) with cooking spray.

Place a generous teaspoon of the mixture on the wonton wrapper. Fold corner to corner, corner to corner again, and a slight pinch or twist to the top. Place in mini cupcake pan. Once completed, lightly spray the wontons with cooking spray. This will help them crisp up. 

Makes about 15. 

Bake at 350 degrees for 13-15 minutes until lightly browned. 

We eat these alone and sometimes serve with sweet chili sauce. 

TIPS:

If you don't like crab, there is another option that I like as well. Leave out the crab, soy sauce, and Worcestershire sauce. Most times I do half with crab and half without (using then the full block of cream cheese).

These are a great item to prepare ahead of time and freeze in an air tight container. Take out the desired about you want to bake. Be sure to spray the pan and the wontons before placing in the oven.
