Ingredients

Here’s what you’ll need to make this Crab Rangoon Cheese Dip:

• Garlic cloves: Minced, adds a fragrant aroma and flavor.
• Green onions: Sliced thin, adds a mild onion flavor and a pop of color.
• Worcestershire sauce: Adds a savory umami note.
• Imitation crab meat: Adds a classic crab rangoon flavor.
• Mozzarella cheese: Grated, adds a cheesy and gooey texture.
• Thai sweet chili sauce: Adds a sweet and spicy kick.

For the Wonton Chips:

• Wonton wrappers: Cut into triangles, provides a crispy and crunchy base for dipping.
• Sesame seeds: Adds a nutty flavor and visual appeal to the chips.
• Olive oil spray: Used to lightly coat the wonton chips for crispiness.

How to Make Crab Rangoon Cheese Dip

Step 1: Prepare the Wonton Chips

Preheat your oven to 425°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper. Arrange the wonton triangles in a single layer on the prepared baking sheets. Spray them lightly with olive oil and sprinkle with sesame seeds. Bake for 12-14 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.

Step 2: Make the Dip

While the wonton chips are baking, prepare the dip. In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, mayo, sour cream, minced garlic, sliced green onions, Worcestershire sauce, imitation crab meat, and grated mozzarella cheese. Mix well until everything is evenly combined.

Step 3: Bake the Dip

Scoop the dip mixture into a 9×9 inch square or circular baking pan. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F for 22-25 minutes, or until the dip is heated through and bubbly.

Step 4: Serve

Remove the hot dip from the oven and drizzle with Thai sweet chili sauce. Let the dip cool for at least 5 minutes before serving with the baked wonton chips.
