These crispy baked cream cheese Rangoon wontons are an easy homemade appetizer that delivers a golden, crunchy shell with a creamy, savory filling. Baked instead of fried, they offer a healthier twist on a classic party favorite.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 oz softened cream cheese (full-fat preferred, low-fat acceptable)
  • Wonton wrappers (round preferred)
  • 2 tablespoons finely chopped green onions
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup shredded mozzarella or Monterey Jack cheese (optional)
  • 1 beaten egg (for sealing)
  • Cooking spray or oil (to lightly coat wontons before baking)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
  2. In a bowl, combine softened cream cheese, chopped green onions, garlic powder, soy sauce, and shredded cheese if using. Stir until smooth.
  3. Lay out wonton wrappers on a clean surface. Place about 1 heaping teaspoon (about 10 g) of filling in the center of each wrapper.
  4. Brush the edges of the wrappers lightly with beaten egg. Fold the wrappers in half to form a triangle or bring corners together for a purse shape. Press firmly to seal, squeezing out air pockets. Double-seal edges if desired.
  5. Place sealed wontons flat on the prepared baking sheet. Lightly spray or brush tops with cooking oil.
  6. Bake for 12-15 minutes until edges are golden brown and crispy. Check at 10 minutes if your oven runs hot.
  7. Let wontons cool slightly before serving to firm up and avoid burning your mouth.

Notes

Do not overfill wontons to prevent bursting during baking. Use egg wash to seal edges well for a golden crisp. Baking time may vary by oven; watch closely to avoid burning. For extra crispiness, flip wontons halfway through baking. Can be frozen uncooked on a tray before baking.
