Blue Ribbon Recipe
These baked crab rangoons are a unique and tasty appetizer. Serve them on New Year's Eve, a game night, or before a holiday meal. The crab mixture is delicious, creamy, and full of fresh crab flavor. Baking the wonton wrappers helps cut down on the fat, yet they still come out crispy. If you like them extra crispy, we suggest baking the wrappers a few minutes longer. These baked crab rangoons are a quick and easy-to-prepare appetizer.

How To Make crab and chive baked rangoons
-
1Preheat oven to 350. Brush melted butter onto one side of wonton wrappers, gently press each one, butter side up, into the cup of a mini muffin pan, overlapping the edges. Bake 5-6 minutes, edges will be just starting to turn brown.
-
2Mix together remaining ingredients and spoon into wonton shells, I like to use my 1" cookie scooper heaping. Bake again for 6-7 minutes. Remove to serving platter and serve alone or with warmed Sweet and Sour Sauce of your choice. (I like La Choy Sweet and Sour Sauce best, to me, it 'most' closely resembles the ones I get at restaurants.)
-
3**If using dried chives, I like to mix the cream cheese mixture up and allow to rest 1/2 hour at least, before using, to give the chives time to hydrate.
