Ingredients
1 pound crab claw meat
10 ounces Philadelphia 1/3 less fat cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup diced yellow bell pepper
1/4 cup sliced green onions
1 egg white
Salt to taste
20 wonton wrappers
1 egg white for sealing
Cooking spray
Directions
Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the crab meat, softened cream cheese, diced yellow bell pepper, sliced green onions, and one egg white. Season with salt to taste and stir until all ingredients are well blended.
Lay a wonton wrapper on a clean work surface. Place approximately 1 tablespoon of the crab filling in the center of the wrapper.
Brush the edges of the wonton wrapper with the second egg white to help seal the wrapper.
Fold the wonton wrapper in half diagonally to form a triangle, pressing the edges firmly to seal and remove any air pockets.
Place the folded wonton on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Repeat with remaining wrappers and filling.
Lightly spray each wonton with cooking spray to promote even browning.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes, until the wontons are golden brown and crispy.
Remove from oven and serve warm.
Comments
Wonton wrappers are reliably stocked at Harris Teeter, Food Lion, and Kroger, and crab meat (canned or imitation) runs $3–5 a can at any major chain, making this genuinely affordable at roughly 35–50 cents per appetizer. The stated 20 minutes is honest for assembly and baking, though you'll want to account for prep of the bell pepper and green onions. The real caveat is ingredient sourcing: fresh lump crab meat, if you prefer it over canned, means a second stop at a seafood counter, and not all Charlotte-area locations carry it reliably—Food Lion and Harris Teeter have better seafood departments than ALDI or Walmart. This is a freezer-friendly make-ahead that reheats well, so it suits both entertaining and weeknight cooking, though it leans more toward an appetizer platter than a standalone meal.
