Ingredients that you need to make cream cheese wontons

wonton wrappers- this a thin piece of dough that holds it all together. Can normally be found in the fridge section at the grocery store
cream cheese- this is the other main star of the dish. Nice and creamy.
garlic powder - adds a little bit of extra flavor
onion powder- like the add oral flavor that it adds
salt- helps bring out the rest of the flavors
egg- used in the egg wash’s helps to seal the wrapper and helps add a little flavor. It is my belief that this seals them better then just water.
water- helps to seal the wrappers

we were baking a few cream cheese wontons this case they’re sitting on a silicone baking sheet instead of pan. The top level is made of five cream cheese wontons that are folded in an envelope below that you have a couple fold a little bit bigger than the rest isn’t filled up yet. not the need folding job

Making cream cheese

Make filling: added the seasoning and cream cheese together in a bowl

Make egg wash: in a separate bowl mix water add egg together

Fill wrappers: add a teaspoon of feeling to wrapper added some egg wash around the edges and the fold. Secure edges

Cooking: cooks tell they are golden brown

The big ones came out of the oven. They had an early crisp up at all. They’re still kind of white. You do see a little bit of gold on them, but they didn’t really crisp but we’d like.

Different ways to cook

Deep fry this is a great way to cook wontons preheat oil the 350 drop in for one to two minutes till golden Brown pull out this way you have to make sure that they’re completely filled so that the cream cheese doesn’t fall out of the wonton while cooking. These are also more oily and higher color and you have to have to do this method.

Bake preheat oven for hundred and inside for about five minutes. You want to put something on them to help them brown as these don’t crisp as much as the others but you don’t really need any additional oil unless you’d like to add.

Air fry- just give me a great option for cooking as you don’t have to have the oil to cook these. They only take 3 to 5 minutes to make the hard part with these is that all of times I tend to leave them in too long because you can’t see them to figure out it’s OK, amazing ass like you do deep frying them

Bake and fry this is one that we tried when we were first trying to make this I feel like in someways as my favorite you can become and get them all crisp up before you put them in the oil so you don’t need to leave them in as long can you still get the amazing bread flavor but don’t have to leave it in as long because they’re baked. It doesn’t seek him into the wrappers

to envelope cream cheese wontons sitting in a small bowl of oil being cooked because we are doing a small batch of each type leaves the smaller bowl this time because we’re gonna do too many people. Do you want to use a bigger You can start to see them slightly turning golden and you can see lots of bubbles around them

Variations that you can make of cream cheese wontons

Regular/original - original was just made with only cream cheese so you can try that if you want without adding any additional ingredient

Sweet-try adding powdered sugar to the mix just the cream cheese, then sprinkling a little bit on top some of the recipes that I’ve tried or seen use about 1 teaspoon of powdered sugar for every ounce

Spicy- Sriracha to the mix for spicy cream cheese one time you could also chop up some jalapeños and some green Different ways to fold wontons sometime they see them made as a triangle. This is probably the simplest way that I’ve seen wonton made. He seem to take up the feeling really good, but also take up the room if you’re gonna fry to make as many at a time

Different way so fold

envelope- this is a little bit more complicated than the triangle, but starts out the same way, folding in half into a triangle then just folding the side edges into the middle

Restaurant-the method that you see a restaurant just pinch the flat parts to the middle of trying to thin out the other two or each other with cream cheese this way I feel like I probably have the most problems with the most part they can be really nice and always feels good when you’re able to accomplish it

Storing

You can stor turn fridge in an airtight container for up to about five days

We need to save the town rappers and you wanna freeze them. You can do that. Just make sure they’re in container and fall them out before using, but I wouldn’t freeze the cream cheese wontons

Picture of the air, fried wontons and a little bit darker on the edges rock consistent colors on the edge their dark they filled up the basket pretty much all way to the sides having a mixture of all three types
