Baked Cream Cheese Wonton Recipe, with Crab – 1 Point Total
Oh how I love Crab and Cream Cheese Wontons! I remember the day that I first discovered them – it was at a random Chinese food restaurant in State College, PA, during my college years. That one time was all I needed — I was now a Cream Cheese Wonton lovin’ fool! Often referred to as Crab Rangoons, traditional cream cheese and crab wonton recipes involve frying the wonton and using more cream cheese than crab – thus leading to a ton of extra fat and calories. My version, makes a few small changes to the original recipe and involves baking them instead of frying. This leads to super yummy cream cheese and crab wontons that clock in at just 1 Point Total for 2 wontons! Though this is not an official Weight Watchers Wonton Recipe, I am confident it will be adored by any Chinese food lover who is counting their calories. Serve as an appetizer, side dish, or snack!
Baked Cream Cheese Wonton Recipe
Ingredients:
- 1 can of lump crab meat, drained

- 1/2 cup fat free cream cheese, room temperature
- 24 pieces wonton wrappers, (3 1/2-inch square)

Directions:
Preheat the oven to 350°F.
In a large bowl, combine cream cheese, egg substitute, crab meat, shredded cabbage, salt and cilantro.
Spray 2, 12 cup muffin pans with non-stick cooking spray. Lay each wonton wrapper inside each cup, placed evenly apart. Bake in the oven until wonton begins to turn golden – approx 3-5 minutes. Take out from oven and transfer wontons to a baking sheet, sprayed with nonstick cooking spray. Place 2 tsp of the crab mixture in the center of each wonton skin. Spray each wonton lightly with nonstick spray. Bake again until golden and crisp, about 10 minutes.
