Baked Crab Rangoon

Baked Crab Rangoon

1 can (6 oz) white crabmeat, well drained
1 8 oz package cream cheese at room temp
3 to 5 green onions, thinly sliced (amount depends on taste)
1 teaspoon of sugar (amount depends on taste)
A pinch of minced or chopped garlic
24 won ton wrappers

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Mix crabmeat, cream cheese, onions, garlic and sugar

Spray a 12 cup muffin pan with cooking spray, if you have two pans you’re in luck, if not, it’s easy to serve the first batch then move on to the second.

Place a won ton wrapper in each cup, allowing the edges of wrappers to extend above sides of muffin cups

Fill evenly with crabmeat mixture, about a heaping spoonful each

Bake 18 to 20 minutes until edges are golden brown and filling is heated through, it will bubble a bit. Serve warm.


We love Crab Rangoon, hubby likes it a little sweeter like the take out. We get 6 FRIED Rangoon for $3.00 dollars with our Chinese takeout. But, for less fat and calories you can have 24 Rangoon at the cost of:

Crabmeat: $2.18
Wonton wrappers: $2.00 for 12 oz package (this recipe only uses half a package)
Cream cheese: Store brand on sale for .99 cents

And then you just add your green onions and garlic.
Below is a picture of mine that I made tonight.

If you prefer a crispier Rangoon bake the won ton wrappers in the muffin cups at 350°F for 5 to 7 min. or until lightly browned. Then fill with crabmeat mixture and bake 6 to 8 min. or until filling is heated thru. Enjoy!

OMG...Piper...how absolutely delish...I love these and want to thank you for the recipe...I'm gonna pass it on to my daughters...

Can't wait to give these a try! I always get them we I do take out and fret over eating too much fried foods! Thanks Piper!

You're welcome! You could also use the reduced fat cream cheese as well I guess. I don't feel so guilty eating them since they're baked. KB, I'm gonna make your poppers this week. I have halle pina's in the freezer.

eeww, I hate that reduced fat cream cheese. I'm going with the real deal! I think you'll really like the poppers, Piper. I always use rubber gloves when I'm handling the halle pina's, got burnt once and it wasn't fun. Enjoy!

Just the NAME of the dish itself is too intimidating for me to try. That said, the recipe DOES look like something I actually COULD MAYBE make. Howeva, at this point in time, I'll stick to the dinner menu of tonight. Ham, mashed potatoes, Swiss Chalet gravy, salad, buttertarts a friend brought over.

Hey Eva, what are buttertarts?

loose women smeared in butter

LOL Martine, that was my first guess but thought I'd better ask

Hey watch what you guys say about buttertarts! I love buttertarts! The first food my husband ever gave me was a buttertart, I'd never eaten one before. And get this, not that I think anyone will believe me, but I was 16 yrs old, he was 15 yrs old, I was at a house party of 200 15 & 16 yr olds and "somebody ripped off the back of a bakery truck" and Mrs Willman Butter Tarts were being handed out to party goers by the box. Someone passed me one, "What's this?" I asked. Someone replied, "Someone ripped off the back of a bakery truck, eat it!" As I bit into the delicious butter tart I muttered with my mouth full, "Who? Who? Who ripped off the back of a bakery truck?"

Twas a few more years before I found out it was my (now) husband.

And fyi Piper AND Martine, I think if someone called a woman a Rangoon, that could be more insulting that calling her a buttertart!

Hey, Eva...does your buttertart look like this?
I am a visual kinda girl....neva heard of buttertarts..

I tried a new twist on these tonight and they turned out wonderful! I didn't have any crab meat, but had the cream cheese and won tons. I left out the sugar, added lots more garlic, a couple of tablespoons of light mayo and cayenne pepper... one of my all time favorite seasonings, besides smoked paprika and garlic. They were delicious!
