Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 can(s) white crabmeat, drained
8 oz cream cheese, room temperature
3 scallions, finely chopped
24 wonton wrappers
2 tsp soy sauce
3 tsp worcestershire sauce
1 tsp garlic salt
1/2 c butter, melted
1 egg white

Steps:

  • 1. Line cookie sheet with foil. Preheat over to 425 degrees.
  • 2. Mix the cream cheese, onions, soy sauce, garlic salt and Worcestershire sauce in a medium bowl. Gently fold in the crabmeat.
  • 3. Take one wonton wrapper and place 1 teaspoon of the crab mix into the center of each wonton.
  • 4. Moisten the edges of the wonton with egg. Fold the wontons in half to form a triangle, and press the edges to seal. (Or, pull up two corners and press and seal, then pull up the other two corners, press and seal. This forms a square pouch)
  • 5. Arrange the crab wontons on the cookie sheet and brush them with the melted butter.
  • 6. Bake the crab wonton in the oven at 425º for 12-15 minutes, or until they turn a golden brown color. You may need to flip them to brown evenly on both sides.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh crab meat: Opt for fresh crab meat over canned or frozen to ensure the best flavor and texture.
  • Chop the crab meat finely: This will help to distribute the crab flavor throughout the wontons.
  • Use a variety of vegetables: Feel free to mix and match vegetables based on your preference. Some popular choices include carrots, celery, green onions, and water chestnuts.
  • Season the filling well: Don't be afraid to season the crab filling generously. A good balance of salt, pepper, and garlic powder will enhance the flavor.
  • Use wonton wrappers: Wonton wrappers are thin and delicate, making them perfect for these baked crab wontons.
  • Fold the wontons carefully: Take your time to fold the wontons neatly, ensuring that the filling is completely enclosed.
  • Bake the wontons until golden brown: This will give them a crispy exterior and a tender, juicy interior.
  • Serve with your favorite dipping sauce: Some popular choices include soy sauce, sweet and sour sauce, or chili sauce.
