Description
A quick and easy creamy crab rangoon dip that combines cream cheese, sour cream, and crab meat for a rich, crowd-pleasing appetizer perfect for parties and cozy nights.
Ingredients
Scale
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 8 oz imitation crab meat, shredded or chopped
- 2 stalks green onions, thinly sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tsp soy sauce (optional)
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- About 30 wonton wrappers (optional, for dipping)
- Cooking oil for frying wontons (vegetable or canola oil)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a mixing bowl, beat softened cream cheese and sour cream with an electric mixer or whisk until smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes.
- Stir in minced garlic, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce (if using), and freshly ground black pepper gently.
- Fold in shredded crab meat and sliced green onions carefully to keep texture intact.
- Add grated Parmesan cheese and fold in evenly.
- Spoon mixture into a greased 8×8-inch baking dish or oven-safe serving bowl and smooth the top.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes until edges bubble and top is slightly golden.
- While baking, heat oil in a skillet to 350°F (175°C) if frying. Cut wonton wrappers into triangles or squares and fry until golden and crisp, about 1-2 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.
- Alternatively, brush wontons with oil and bake at 375°F (190°C) for 8-10 minutes until crisp.
- Let dip cool for a few minutes before serving with crispy wontons or favorite crackers.
Notes
Ensure cream cheese is softened for smooth mixing. Maintain oil temperature at 350°F when frying wontons to avoid greasy or burnt wrappers. Cover dip loosely with foil halfway through baking if it looks dry. Broil last 1-2 minutes for a golden crust, watching carefully. Dip reheats well at 350°F for 10-15 minutes covered with foil.
