Wonton Crab Grilled Cheese

Ingredients

• 1 cup lump crab meat (fresh, canned, or imitation)
• 1/4 cup cream cheese, softened
• 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1 teaspoon sesame oil
• 2 green onions, finely chopped
• 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
• Pinch of red pepper flakes (optional)
• Salt and black pepper, to taste
• 16 wonton wrappers (for 8 sandwiches)
• 2 tablespoons butter or neutral oil, for frying

Instructions

1. 1

   In a mixing bowl, combine the crab meat, cream cheese, shredded mozzarella, sesame oil, green onions, garlic powder, and red pepper flakes (if using). Season with salt and pepper to taste. Stir gently until everything is well mixed.

2. 2

   Lay out 8 wonton wrappers on a clean surface. Spoon about 1 to 2 tablespoons of the crab mixture into the center of each wrapper. Top with another wrapper and press gently around the edges to slightly seal them.

3. 3

   Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat and add a small amount of butter or oil. Once hot, place the filled wonton sandwiches into the skillet, a few at a time.

4. 4

   Cook for 2–3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crisp, and the cheese is melted. Flip carefully with a spatula.

5. 5

   Transfer to a plate and let cool for 1–2 minutes before serving. Cut into halves or quarters if serving as an appetizer.
