Cream Cheese Wontons Recipe
Description
This recipe creates Cream Cheese Wontons by blending softened cream cheese with lemon pepper, garlic pepper, and paprika for a distinct savory filling. Small wrapper squares are filled with a teaspoon of this mixture, sealed with water to create tight edges, and deep fried in hot oil until the wrappers develop a crunchy, golden crust while the filling inside remains smooth and flavorful.
The crisp exterior contrasts the creamy, spiced cheese inside, making these wontons a good appetizer, snack, or party finger food. Careful frying ensures an even golden-brown color without oiliness. The use of common spices yields a straightforward but tasty filling.
Leftover wontons should be stored in an airtight container and can be reheated in the oven at 300°F for 5–10 minutes to re-crisp the exterior and warm the filling without sogginess. Frying temperature variability means cooking time may need slight adjustment to achieve ideal doneness.
Ingredients
- 4 ounces cream cheese softened, regular
- 1 teaspoon lemon pepper
- ½ teaspoon garlic pepper
- ½-1 teaspoon paprika
- egg roll wrappers or won ton wrappers
Instructions
- Heat 1-2 inches of oil in a small frying pan on medium heat.
- Mix spices into softened cream cheese until well incorporated.
- If you have egg roll wrappers, slice them with a pizza cutter into 4 small squares. Won Ton wrappers are already cut to the size you need.
- Using a small ice cream scoop place teaspoon-sized ball in center of square wrapper. Dip your finger in water and spread on the four corners of the wrapper and fold up.
- When oil is hot, fry until all sides are golden brown. Depending on how hot your oil is, you may need to fry for a shorter or longer amount of time. Enjoy with yummy sweet and sour sauce!
Notes
- Store leftover wontons in an airtight container in the refrigerator to maintain freshness.
- Reheat in a 300°F oven for 5 to 10 minutes to restore crispness without overcooking.
