A stack of wonton wrappers and a block of cream cheese turn into the first thing gone off the table. They come together fast, they fry in a couple minutes, and nobody ever asks what else you made.
Cooks on Pepper reach for these when company's coming, when the game's on, or when they need something to carry to a potluck that still tastes good after the drive.
Every recipe here starts with cream cheese and goes its own way — classic cream cheese wontons with green onion, Crab Rangoons with imitation crab and soy sauce, Easy Sausage Cream Cheese Wontons, Jalapeño Popper Wonton Cups baked in a muffin tin, Who Dat!? Wontons with Rotel and pork sausage, and a Keto Crab Rangoon Dip when you'd rather skip the folding.
Quick Tips
- 1
Soften the cream cheese first
Let the block sit out 30 to 45 minutes before mixing. Cold cream cheese tears the wrappers and leaves lumps in the filling.
- 2
Seal with water
Run a wet finger along two edges, then press out the air as you fold. Trapped air makes them pop open in the oil.
- 3
Keep the oil at 350
Fry 4 or 5 at a time for about 2 minutes, turning once, so they brown evenly instead of dropping the oil temperature.
- 4
Bake them in a muffin tin
Press wrappers into a greased tin and bake at 350 for 8 to 10 minutes until the edges are golden, then fill.
