I know that I’m not alone when I say that I love Crab Rangoon. I
do. I love it. But, in the past, whenever I’ve gotten a taste for it, I’ve had
to go out to my favorite Chinese restaurant. I’ve tried to make it home, but
that can be a bit tedious. Filling those wraps, folding them, and then deep
frying them is a lot of work, not to mention messy, and we won’t even talk
about the lingering aroma it leaves in the house. Ugh.
If you like Crab Rangoon as much as I do, then you are really going to appreciate this recipe. These are baked. In addition, there is no tedious folding of the wonton wrappers, you just shove them into muffin cups, bake them, fill them, bake them again, and you have the most delicious, creamy Crab Rangoon filling, inside a satisfyingly crunchy shell. The filling and wonton cups can be made the day ahead of serving. When guests arrive, simply fill and bake.
If you prefer not to bother with the wonton wrappers, the filling can also be spread on top of English muffin halves, broiled, and quartered, yielding wonderful creamy crab toasts. Want to go carb-less? Spoon the filling into mushrooms and broil. Delicious!

Oh, gosh, that is my favorite thing to order at a Chinese restaurant and most of the time there is zero crab in them! I am definitely printing this to make these next time I do a stir fry!
We saw these at Panda Express the other day and have never tried them! I know we would love them, and I appreciate your version - so easy (and better for us). That filling looks delicious.
Perfect! As I am trying to drop lbs around here, this recipe will satisfy the craving with fewer calories and less mess. Thanks! I never deliberately deprive myself of stuff (because that just makes me mean!), but I do seek out suitable alternatives. This will do it! Thanks!
Oh my goodness... this will is such a simple way to make them!
Your Crab Rangoon Wonton Cups look great! Your post is awesome and thanks so much for sharing it with us at Full Plate Thursday. Have a great week and come back to see us real soon!
