Does anyone have a cream cheese wonton recipe? It doesn't just have to have just cream cheese in it, I had one at some point that had green onions and shaved ham in it and it was so YUMMY!! I would have posted this on the recipe board but I need it for tonite, I hope it's okay. Thanks!!

I have used this recipe with all kinds are variations; without the crab, with chives... the possibilities are endless! Good luck!

Crab and Cream Cheese Wontons

Ingredients:

4 ounces Dungeness or lump crab meat
2 ounces cream cheese
1/4 teaspoon grated lemon zest
1/2 teaspoon lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon Kosher salt or to taste
1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 teaspoons snipped chives
18 wonton wrappers
vegetable oil for deep frying
***Egg Wash:***

1 large egg whisked with
2 tablespoons water
Directions:

Pick through the crab to remove any remaining bits of cartilage and shell. Mix the crab, cream cheese, lemon zest and juice, salt, pepper and chives together. Taste and adjust seasoning. Place a heaping half-teaspoon of filling on one corner of the wonton skin, leaving the edges clean. Moisten the edges with egg wash. Bring one set of opposite corners together and seal all the edges, making a triangle. Next, bring the long ends of the triangle together, overlapping the corners slightly and sealing with more egg wash. Turn the third corner up if it isn't already, forming a small tortellini or hat-shape.

Alternate folding method: Cut the wonton skins in half, diagonally. Brush one side with egg wash then place a small dollop of filling a bit off the middle of the triangle. Bring the open edges together and seal, forming a small triangle. Meanwhile, heat the oil to about 350 degrees. Fry the wontons until they are golden brown, about 45 seconds to 1 minute. Drain well on a rack lined with paper towels.
