Cream Cheese Wontons

I always love cream cheese wontons at Chinese restaurants, so I decided to try my hand at them. I found that they're surprisingly easy to make! All you need is wonton wrappers (you can find these at any health-foods store and most normal grocery stores as well), cream cheese, and some garlic salt.

To make a wonton, just place a small amount of cream cheese in the middle of the wrapper (be careful not to put too much or the wonton will overflow!) and sprinkle some garlic salt over.



























To form the wonton shape, fold the wrapper to form a triangle and seal it in place by brushing the edges with water. Then bend the two bottom corners toward each other. The end result should look something like this:















Thanks to a great online recipe, I tried baking the wontons instead of deep frying them for a much healthier but still delicious meal (for an even healthier wonton, use low-fat cream cheese). Tips for baking: Use a high temperature (400 to 425) and only bake for 10-15 minutes tops. Also, brush the wontons with olive oil or even spray with cooking spray for added crisp and nice color.














Serve with duck sauce for a delicious appetizer or meal.
