Ingredients
Scale
Wonton Cups
- 24 wonton wrappers
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Crab Rangoon Filling
- 4 ounces cream cheese
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 6 ounces crab meat, drained
- 1 green onion, chopped
- 1 lime, juiced
- ¼ cup shredded cheese (cheddar or mozzarella)
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon sriracha (optional)
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C) to prepare for baking the wonton wrappers and filling.
- Prepare Wonton Cups: Brush both sides of each wonton wrapper with olive oil. Gently press each wrapper into the wells of a mini-muffin pan to form small cups. Bake these for 5 minutes until they are no longer limp but slightly crisp.
- Mix the Filling: While the wonton cups bake, combine cream cheese, mayonnaise, drained crab meat, chopped green onion, lime juice, shredded cheese, soy sauce, sriracha (if using), Worcestershire sauce, and garlic powder in a bowl. Mix thoroughly until well incorporated.
- Fill the Cups: Remove the partially baked wonton cups from the oven and spoon the crab rangoon mixture evenly into each cup, filling them generously.
- Bake Again: Return the filled cups to the oven and bake for an additional 8-10 minutes, or until the wonton cups are golden brown on the outside and the filling is hot throughout.
- Garnish and Serve: Optionally, sprinkle additional chopped green onions on top for garnish and serve warm as an appetizer or snack.
Notes
- Drain the crab meat well to avoid soggy filling.
- You can substitute crab meat with imitation crab for a budget-friendly option.
- Sriracha adds a mild heat; omit if you prefer a milder flavor.
- Use mini-muffin pans to get perfectly sized crab rangoon cups.
- Brush wonton wrappers with oil for extra crispiness during baking.
