Instructions

1. Prepare the Wonton Cups

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Lightly spray a muffin tin with cooking spray.
Press one wonton wrapper into each cup, shaping it gently to form little “bowls.”
Bake for 5–7 minutes until lightly golden.

2. Make the Filling

In a medium bowl, mix together the cream cheese, crab, green onions, garlic powder, Worcestershire sauce, and sugar (if using).
Season with salt and pepper to taste.
The mixture should be thick, creamy, and well combined.

3. Fill and Bake

Spoon a generous tablespoon of filling into each partially baked wonton cup.
Return to the oven and bake for another 8–10 minutes, or until the filling is hot and the wonton edges are crisp and golden.

4. Serve

Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce—sweet chili, soy sauce, or even a homemade Asian-inspired dip.
Garnish with extra green onions for a fresh pop of color.

Tips for the Best Crab Rangoon Wonton Cups

• Use softened cream cheese to ensure a smooth, easy-to-mix filling.

• Don’t overfill the cups—too much filling can spill out as it bakes.

• Add a second wonton wrapper (rotated slightly) for extra crunch and a sturdier cup.

• Try air-frying for an even crispier shell.

Make-Ahead Option

You can assemble the cups up to a day in advance and refrigerate. Bake just before serving for maximum crunch and freshness.
