Crab rangoon is the appetizer everyone orders first. Folding and frying the little wontons at home is another story. This dip gives you the same creamy, savory filling in one baking dish, with crispy wonton chips on the side.
Why You’ll Love It
- Takeout flavor at home. Cream cheese, crab, green onion and a little soy.
- No folding, no frying. Stir, spread and bake.
- Party-ready. Make it ahead and bake it when guests arrive.
What You Need
- 8 oz cream cheese (softened)
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 8 oz crab meat (imitation or lump, chopped)
- 2 green onions (sliced, plus more for the top)
- 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tsp soy sauce
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (divided)
- 24 wonton wrappers (for chips)
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil (for the chips)
How to Make It
- Heat the oven to 375°F.
- Beat the cream cheese, sour cream and mayonnaise until smooth.
- Stir in the crab, green onions, Worcestershire, soy sauce, garlic powder and 1/2 cup of the mozzarella.
- Spread in a small baking dish (about 1 quart) and sprinkle the rest of the mozzarella on top.
- Bake 20 to 25 minutes, until bubbly, golden on top and 165°F in the center.
- For the chips, cut the wonton wrappers into triangles, brush lightly with oil and spread on a baking sheet. Bake at 375°F for 6 to 8 minutes, until golden. Watch closely so they don’t burn.
- Top the dip with more green onion and serve hot with the wonton chips.
Tips
- Soften the cream cheese so the dip is smooth with no lumps.
- Imitation or real crab both work. Imitation crab is cheaper and already cooked.
- No wonton wrappers? Serve with crackers, pita chips or celery.
Storage
Keep leftovers covered in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven at 350°F until it reaches 165°F. Store the chips at room temperature in a sealed bag.
