An easy cheat that I got from a Kraft magazine some time back. I have made them twice and had taken the recipe x5 and still didn't have any left overs!

One of my favorite Chinese restaurant appetizers - I can't wait to try this quick, easy version!


Mine too krum!


The daughter's absolute favorite alltime appetizers. Can't wait to make this for her, she will be so happy.


Made them today and the kids scarfed them down. I kind of messed up and kind of cooked them a little long, but the kids were happy. Far easier than frying and I kind of missed that fried taste but for an oven ready prep, this are really really good. I did grate a little ginger in the cream cheese along with a dash of soy sauce. Now, I'm off to make Griz's Dreamsicle cheesecake. It's a cheesy kind of day here today. Thanks for the good post. Definite keeper. Toodles, Tina


Aha, my smart cookie of a daughter snapped a shot before they all disappeared.


Sounds sooo good!

Just tried these out, and the filling was DELICIOUS! I was disappointed with the wonton wrappers though...maybe I messed up, but the tops got real dark/crispy and the bottoms were soggy (too much non-stick spray? I was worried about the cheese leaking/sticking but that wasn't an issue) I made them in mini-muffin cups, and I can't imagine using regular sized muffin cups--they were at least a two bite appetizer in the mini cups. What I'd change for next time...less cooking spray, bake on the very bottom rack of the oven so the bottoms get more done, and use jcfsaiyan's suggested alteration of Phyllo Dough...because the filling is spot-on, so I'll definitely give it another go!
I tried to make fried Crab Rangoon last year and completely ruined it--the cheese leaked out and turned to smoking charcoals in my cooking oil--the whole house stunk and the finished product was greasy and disgusting--so these are definitely an improvement, very easy to make and turned out better than my first attempt for sure. I'm going to keep working on it, cause Crab Rangoons are my favorite 'Chinese' food!

you could also use Phyllo Dough too if you don't like the wontons, it makes a wonderful flaky crusty goodness


pre-made puff pastry: cut into circles, fill with crab and close up like a little turnover and bake at 350 for 18 to 20 min or until puffed and golden brown.
