Ingredients
- Cream Cheese (2 x 8 oz blocks, softened)
- Imitation Crab Meat (8 oz, finely shredded or chopped)
- Sour Cream (1/4 cup)
- Green Onions (4 stalks, thinly sliced)
- Worcestershire Sauce (1 teaspoon)
- Garlic Powder (1/2 teaspoon)
- Wonton Wrappers (1 package, about 40 wrappers)
- Vegetable Oil or Cooking Spray (for chips)
Instructions
- Step 1: Prepare the Wonton Chips. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Cut the wonton wrappers diagonally into triangles. Spread them on a baking sheet, lightly coat with vegetable oil or cooking spray, and bake for 6 to 8 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy. Set aside.
- Step 2: Prepare the Dip Base. In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, sour cream, Worcestershire sauce, and garlic powder until smooth. Use an electric mixer for the easiest blending.
- Step 3: Fold in Main Components. Gently fold the shredded crab meat and three-quarters of the sliced green onions into the cream cheese mixture until evenly distributed.
- Step 4: Bake the Dip. Transfer the mixture to a shallow 9-inch pie dish or small baking dish. Bake alongside the chips (if timing allows) or immediately after, for 15 to 20 minutes, until the dip is hot, bubbly, and lightly golden brown on the edges.
- Step 5: Garnish and Serve. Remove the dip from the oven and allow it to cool slightly (about 5 minutes). Garnish the top with the reserved sliced green onions and a drizzle of sweet chili sauce (optional). Serve the hot dip immediately with the prepared wonton chips.
Notes
- Store leftover dip covered tightly in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, but keep the crunchy wonton chips separate in an airtight container at room temperature to preserve their crispness.
- To reheat the dip, use the oven at 300°F (150°C) until bubbly, which helps maintain the rich, creamy texture better than using a microwave.
- If you run out of homemade wonton chips, this rich dip is also fabulous served with crunchy sesame crackers, sturdy kettle chips, or fresh bell pepper strips.
- For the absolute best flavor payoff, use full-fat cream cheese and make sure it is completely softened before blending, guaranteeing a lump-free base.
