Open Face Crab Rangoons

    If you have never tried Neufchâtel Cheese, you are really missing a good flavored cheese.  You can find it next to the cream cheese in the grocery store.  It has almost identical packaging to the cream cheese so it's easy to pass by.  There is a difference in taste.  Neufchâtel is smoother and lacks the tang of cream cheese.  It also has less fat and fewer calories.  If you aren't into trying new things, cream cheese will do in this recipe, but try mixing in some goat cheese with it. 

     These rangoons are delicious and so very easy and quick to make.  In 10 minutes you will be done and sitting back, relaxing and in another 18 to 20 minutes you will be serving these up.  They make great appetizers or a nice side dish.


1 can of crabmeat, drained
4 oz Neufchâtel Cheese, softened
1 Tablespoon of finely chopped onions
1/4 cup Mayonnaise (I used light mayo)
12 wonton wrappers

Optional: avocado for garnish


     Preheat oven 350 degrees.  

     Mix crabmeat, Neufchâtel cheese, onions and mayo.

    Spray 12 mini muffin cups with cooking spray.  Place 1 wonton wrapper in each cup.  Fill evenly with crabmeat mixture.

    Bake 18 to 20 minutes or until edges are golden brown and filling is heated through.  Garnish with avocado or any other vegetable you like.
