Crab and Cream Cheese Wontons image

These are really good served with sweet and sour sauce or your favorite dipping sauce. If you like them a little more creamy just add more cream cheese.Sometimes I also add a little cheddar cheese into the filling. This recipe is from the wonton wraps package. Quantity and time is an estimate.

Time 25m

Yield 25 wontons

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 ounces lump crabmeat or 4 ounces imitation crabmeat
2 -4 ounces cream cheese, room temperature
1/4 teaspoon grated lemon zest
1/2 teaspoon lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt (to taste)
1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper

vegetable oil, for deep-frying

Steps:

  • Combine the crab, cream cheese, lemon zest and juice, salt, pepper and chives together.
  • Place a heaping half-tsp of filling on one corner of wrap.
  • Moisten the edges with egg wash.
  • Bring one set of opposite corners together and seal all the edges, making a triangle.
  • Next, bring the long ends of the triangle together, overlapping the corners slightly and sealing with more egg wash.
  • Turn the third corner up if it isn't already, forming a small tortellini or hat-shape.
  • Heat the oil to 350 degrees.
  • Fry the egg rolls until they are golden brown, about 45 seconds to 1 minute.
  • Drain well on paper towel.
