Cheese Puffs

Wontons/Rangoons/Cheese Puffs

Whatever you want to call them, these are EXCELLENT!!!

1 pkg cream cheese, softened

1 can crab, drained well (or leave this out)

½ bunch green onions

½ tsp garlic

½ tsp salt

Blend well.

Place about 1 tbsp mixture in the center of a wonton wrapper.*  Fod wrapper in half diagonally.  Moisten edges slightly with water or egg white.  Fold bottom corners in to make a purse-shaped wonton.  Again, moisten edges to stick together.

Heat about 1” of vegetable oil in a heavy frying pan or wok.  Carefully place wontons in the oil.  When done on one side (they will start to float - takes about 1 minute depending on temperature) turn them over and fry on the other side.  Remove from oil and drain on paper towels. 

Enjoy!!  (but be careful - they will be HOT!)

*wonton wrappers can usually be found in the PRODUCE area of the grocery store, near the more unusual veggies.
