Crab Rangoon Dip Recipe

Instructions

1. Step 1

   Gather the ingredients.

2. Step 2

   Beat the cream cheese until completely smooth and fluffy. Preheat the oven to 375 F.

3. Step 3

   Add the crab meat, sour cream, mayonnaise, scallions, garlic, 1 tablespoon of sweet chili sauce, and salt and pepper to taste to the bowl of whipped cream cheese.

4. Step 4

   Fold the ingredients together in the bowl with a spatula until completely combined. Break up the crab as finely as you like.

5. Step 5

   Pour the mixture into a greased baking dish. You can decide what size dish you want. An 8-inch round casserole will work well, but choose the shape you like best.

6. Step 6

   If you are adding the mozzarella cheese, sprinkle it over the top of the dip before popping it in the preheated oven.

7. Step 7

   While the dip is baking, prepare the wonton chips. Cut the wrappers into triangles or chip like shapes. Using egg roll wrappers work just as well as wonton wrappers and they are often a little thicker.

8. Step 8

   Heat the oil to the deep frying temperature of 375 F and monitor it with a frying or candy thermometer.

9. Step 9

   Add the wrappers into the hot oil in batches of 4 or 5 at a time, depending on the size of your pot. Flip the wontons quickly so that they are lightly golden and fried on both sides. Drain them on a paper towel-lined plate or baking sheet.

10. Step 10

    Take the dip out of the oven when the cheese is brown and the dip is heated through the center, about 20 minutes. Drizzle the remaining sweet chili sauce over the top of the dip. Then top with more chopped scallions. Start dipping and enjoy.
