Low Fat Crab Rangoon

CRAB RANGOON



Made a great recipe yesterday for my dear friends after holiday party. 
They were so yummy and NO ONE knew they were low calorie!!!
I got the recipe from Hungry Girl.  If you have not heard of Hungry Girl you MUST look her up.  She has great recipes and provides Weight Watchers Points Plus with ALL her recipes.
I prepared them prior to the party at my home, then brought them with and popped them in my friend's oven.  So I would say you can freeze these and eat them anytime.

I served mine with Trader Joe's Sweet Chili Sauce.

Ingredients
  • 4 oz. flaked imitation crabmeat (or high-quality crabmeat)
  • 2 scallions, finely chopped
  • 1/4 cup fat-free cream cheese, room temperature
  • 2 wedges The Laughing Cow Light Creamy Swiss cheese, room temperature
  • 1 tsp. reduced-sodium or lite soy sauce
  • 1/2 tsp. chopped garlic
  • 16 small square wonton wrappers (stocked with the tofu in the refrigerated section of the market)
  • Optional: sweet and sour sauce, Chinese-style hot mustard
Directions

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Spray a baking sheet with nonstick spray.

To make your filling, combine all ingredients except wonton wrappers and optional ingredients in a bowl, breaking up the cheese wedges as you add them. Mix until uniform.

Lay one wonton wrapper flat on a clean, dry surface. Spoon a heaping 1/2 tbsp. filling into the center. Moisten all four edges by dabbing your fingers in water and going over the edges smoothly. Fold the bottom left corner to meet the top right corner, forming a triangle and enclosing the filling. Press firmly on the edges to seal.

Repeat with remaining wrappers and filling, gently placing each rangoon flat on the baking sheet. Spray the tops with nonstick spray. Bake in the oven for about 12 minutes, carefully flipping halfway through, until golden brown.

Allow to cool slightly. If you like, dip your rangoon in some sweet and sour sauce or hot mustard!
