These crispy baked cream cheese rangoons feature a creamy, tangy chive filling wrapped in golden wonton wrappers. Baked instead of fried, they’re a lighter, fuss-free appetizer or snack that’s perfect for parties, potlucks, or family gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • 2 tablespoons fresh chives, finely chopped (or scallions)
  • 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
  • 24 square wonton wrappers (about 6 oz)
  • 1 large egg, beaten (for sealing, or use water for egg-free)
  • Cooking spray or neutral oil (for brushing)
  • Optional: 2 tablespoons shredded cheddar cheese
  • Optional: Pinch of smoked paprika

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease.
  2. In a small bowl, mix cream cheese, sour cream, chives, lemon juice, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until smooth.
  3. Lay out wonton wrappers on a clean, dry surface. Cover unused wrappers with a damp towel.
  4. Place about 1 heaping teaspoon of filling in the center of each wrapper. Brush edges with beaten egg or water.
  5. Fold wrapper diagonally to form a triangle, press out air, and seal edges tightly. Pinch corners together for classic rangoon shape.
  6. Arrange filled rangoons on baking sheet (or wire rack over sheet). Lightly brush or spray with oil.
  7. Bake for 12-15 minutes, turning halfway, until crisp and lightly browned.
  8. Let cool for 2-3 minutes before serving. Sprinkle with extra chives if desired.

Notes

Don’t overfill wrappers to prevent bursting. Cover unused wrappers with a damp towel to keep them moist. For extra crispiness, use a wire rack over the baking sheet. Rotate the pan halfway through baking for even browning. These can be made gluten-free or dairy-free with appropriate substitutions. Serve with sweet chili sauce, sriracha, or your favorite dip.
