Cream Cheese Wontons
These golden, crispy fried cream cheese wontons are irresistible, bursting with savory-tangy cream cheese, and ready in just 15 minutes!
Servings: 6 servings
Ingredients
- 4 ounces regular cream cheese, softened
- 1 teaspoon lemon pepper
- ½ teaspoon garlic pepper
- ½-1 teaspoon paprika
- Egg Roll or Wonton wrappers
Instructions
- Heat 1-2 inches of oil in a small frying pan on medium heat.
- Mix spices into softened cream cheese until well incorporated.
- If you have egg roll wrappers, slice them with a pizza cutter into 4 small squares. Wonton wrappers are already cut to the size you need.
- Using a small ice cream scoop, place a teaspoon-sized ball in the center of the square wrapper. Dip your finger in water and spread it on the four corners of the wrapper, and fold up.
- When the oil is hot, fry until all sides are golden brown. Depending on how hot your oil is, you may need to fry for a shorter or longer amount of time. Enjoy with yummy sweet and sour sauce!

Notes
Recipe tips.
- The wrappers tend to dry out quickly, so keep them covered with a damp (not wet) cloth or plastic wrap.
- Don't overfill the wrappers, as too much filling can leak into the hot oil.
- For alternative cooking methods, air fry at 350°F for 3-5 minutes, or oven bake at 400°F for 10-12 minutes.
- We love to serve them with dipping sauces like Teriyaki Sauce, Sweet and Sour Sauce, Hoisin sauce, Sweet Chili Sauce, and Chinese Mustard.
