Crab Rangoon Pinwheels
Crab Rangoon Pinwheels are a fun twist on the popular appetizer! They are made with puff pastry and are baked instead of deep fried. It's a great way to make a huge platter of crab rangoons for a party without needing to individually shape and fry them one by one.

Ingredients
- 2 sheets puff pastry (pre-rolled, thawed)
- 1 egg (whisked)
Crab Rangoon Filling
- 1 ½ cup imitation crab meat (finely diced, approximately 200-250 grams, or canned crab meat drained well)
- 1 brick cream cheese (at room temperature, 8 ounces)
- ½ cup mozzarella cheese (shredded)
- 1 clove garlic (finely minced or shredded)
- 3 green onions (diced)
- 1 teaspoon soy sauce
- ½ teaspoon sugar
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375˚F with racks in the upper and lower thirds. Line 2 large baking sheets with parchment paper or foil (if using foil, spray with cooking spray).
- In a large bowl combine the filling ingredients, mix until evenly combined. Note: ensure the cream cheese is at room temperature so it is easy to stir. If not, microwave on a microwave safe plate for 15 seconds.
- On a lightly floured piece of parchment paper or kitchen counter, roll out the puff pastry.
- Spread the filling mixture on top of the puff pastry, leaving a ¼ inch border on the edges.
- Starting at a long end, roll the puff pastry into a tight log. Press the edges together to seal. Wrap the log in plastic wrap, and refrigerate it, seam side down, for 15-30 minutes (this step is optional, it will make it easier to slice if chilled).
- Using a sharp knife, cut the puff pastry log into ½ inch slices, 16 slices per log. Optional, you can stretch out the log to make slightly smaller pinwheels and slice the log into 24-30 pinwheels instead. Arrange the pinwheels on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them 1 inch apart.
- In a small bowl whisk the egg. Brush the whisked egg on the sides of the pinwheels and gently over the tops.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown (rotating and switching the pans halfway through cooking). Serve warm or at room temperature with Thai Sweet Chili sauce or spicy mayonnaise to dip, enjoy!
