Crispy Crab Rangoon

TOTAL TIME: Prep/Total Time: 30 min. YIELD: 16 appetizers.
My husband loved the appetizers we had at P.F. Chang's so much that I was determined to make them at home. After several more trips to that eatery to taste them again, I had them perfected. I often prepare the filling earlier in the day to save time later. —Cathy Blankman, Warroad, Minnesota

Ingredients

  • 3 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 2 green onions, finely chopped
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped imitation crabmeat
  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic
  • 16 wonton wrappers

Directions

  • 1. In a small bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth. Stir in onions, crab and garlic.
  • 2. Place about 1-1/2 teaspoons filling in the center of a wonton wrapper. (Keep remaining wrappers covered with a damp paper towel until ready to use.) Moisten edges with water; fold opposite corners over filling and press to seal. Repeat.
