A quick and easy recipe for crispy baked cream cheese rangoons with fresh scallions, perfect for appetizers or snacks with a creamy, savory filling and a golden, crunchy shell.

Ingredients

Scale
  • Wonton wrappers (about 3.5 inches square)
  • 8 oz (225 g) cream cheese, softened to room temperature
  • 34 scallion stalks, thinly sliced (white and green parts)
  • 1 tbsp (15 ml) soy sauce (low sodium preferred)
  • 1/2 tsp (2.5 ml) garlic powder
  • 1 tsp (5 ml) sesame oil (optional)
  • Black pepper to taste, freshly ground if possible
  • 1 large egg, beaten (for egg wash)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine softened cream cheese, sliced scallions, soy sauce, garlic powder, sesame oil, and black pepper. Mix until smooth.
  3. Lay out wonton wrappers on a clean surface, covering unused wrappers with a damp paper towel to prevent drying.
  4. Scoop about 1 teaspoon (5 ml) of filling into the center of each wrapper.
  5. Moisten the edges of each wrapper with beaten egg wash using a pastry brush or fingertip.
  6. Fold each wrapper into a triangle and press edges firmly to seal, then bring the two corners together and press again to form a pouch.
  7. Place rangoons on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them apart.
  8. Brush the tops with more egg wash for a golden finish.
  9. Bake for 12-15 minutes until edges are deep golden brown and rangoons are crisp, rotating the baking sheet halfway through.
  10. Cool on a wire rack for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

Do not overfill the wrappers to avoid leaking. Keep unused wrappers covered with a damp towel to prevent drying. Brush egg wash generously for a golden crust. Rotate baking sheet halfway for even browning. Can freeze uncooked rangoons on a tray, then store in a freezer bag; bake from frozen adding a few extra minutes.
