A healthier, easy-to-make version of the classic fried cream cheese rangoons, baked to golden crispiness with a creamy, savory filling.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 oz (225 g) cream cheese, softened
  • 23 scallions, finely chopped
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp soy sauce (optional)
  • About 30 wonton wrappers
  • 1 large egg, beaten
  • Cooking spray or oil brush
  • Optional: sweet chili sauce or soy sauce for dipping

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese, finely chopped scallions, garlic powder, and soy sauce. Stir until smooth and evenly mixed.
  3. Place one wonton wrapper flat on your work surface. Spoon about 1 teaspoon (5 ml) of filling into the center. Avoid overfilling.
  4. Lightly brush the edges of the wrapper with beaten egg. Fold the wrapper in half diagonally to form a triangle, pressing to seal edges firmly. Optionally pleat edges.
  5. Place sealed rangoons on the prepared baking sheet.
  6. Lightly spray or brush the tops of the rangoons with cooking oil.
  7. Bake for 12-15 minutes until golden brown and crisp, checking at 12 minutes to avoid over-browning.
  8. Remove from oven and let rest 2-3 minutes before serving warm with dipping sauce.

Notes

Use room temperature cream cheese for easier mixing. Don’t overfill the wrappers to prevent bursting. Lightly coat with oil spray for crispiness. Let filling chill if too soft. Bake in batches to avoid overcrowding. For gluten-free, use rice paper wrappers with adjusted technique. Vegan option available using vegan cream cheese and egg replacer.
