Description

Crispy, golden cream cheese wontons filled with a smooth and savory cream cheese mixture, perfect as an appetizer or snack.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 2 green onions, finely chopped
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 2024 wonton wrappers
  • 1 egg, beaten (for sealing)
  • Vegetable oil, for frying

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, mix cream cheese, green onions, garlic powder, and salt until smooth.
  2. Place about 1 teaspoon of the filling in the center of each wonton wrapper.
  3. Brush the edges of the wrapper with beaten egg and fold into a triangle, pressing edges to seal and removing any air pockets.
  4. Optional: Bring the two corners of the triangle together and seal with more egg to create a traditional wonton shape.
  5. Heat oil in a deep skillet or saucepan to 350°F (175°C).
  6. Fry the wontons in batches until golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per side.
  7. Remove and drain on paper towels. Serve hot with sweet and sour sauce or your favorite dipping sauce.

Notes

  • Make sure the cream cheese is fully softened for easy mixing and filling.
  • Do not overfill the wrappers to prevent bursting while frying.
  • These can be baked or air-fried as a lighter alternative.
