The traditional way of making the Wonton’s is so time consuming that I came up with a way to simplify the dish and still get all of the flavors…..
Deconstructed Crab Rangoon or Crab Wonton
A hot, creamy baked crab rangoon dip loaded with three cheeses and crab meat, served with crispy wonton chips for scooping.

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
