Baked Crab Rangoons

Ingredients:
 

8oz. fresh crabmeat

4 oz. (1/2 of 8-oz. pkg.) cream cheese (I used the light and it was fine)

6 green onions, thinly sliced (plus 2 for garnish)

1/4 cup mayonnaise (I used the light version and it was OK)

24 won ton wrappers

Directions

Heat oven to 350°F.

 Soften the cream cheese by putting it in a microwave safe bowl and microwaving until soft (~45 seconds). Add the crab, mayo and green onions. You can also add cayenne, pepper,etc. Mix.


Push one wonton wrapper into each cup of a sprayed muffin tin. (Note: I used a mini muffin tin, and would recommend this.) Bake won ton wrappers in muffin cups at 350°F for 5 to 7 min. or until lightly browned. Fill with crabmeat mixture and bake 6 to 8 min. or until filling is heated through.

Let cool for about 5 minutes before eating. Enjoy!
