Cream Cheese Wontons are made of a few simple ingredients that come together to create a delightful, crowd-pleasing appetizer. The main components are:
Cream cheese: This is the primary filling and provides a smooth, creamy texture and rich taste.
Wonton wrappers: Thin dough sheets used to encase the cream cheese filling, which become crispy when cooked.
Seasonings and flavorings: These can include finely chopped green onions, garlic, and a dash of salt and pepper. Some variations may also add a bit of crab meat, shrimp, or other ingredients for extra flavor.
Oil: For frying or brushing on the wontons if youre using an air fryer.
To make Cream Cheese Wontons, simply combine the cream cheese with your desired seasonings and flavorings, place a small dollop of the mixture in the center of each wonton wrapper, and then fold the wrapper to encase the filling, sealing the edges with a bit of water. Finally, either deep-fry or air-fry the wontons until theyre crispy and golden brown.
