Description
A creamy and spicy crab dip baked to perfection, served with crispy wonton chips.
Ingredients
Scale
- 8 ounces cream cheese (softened)
- 1/4 cup sour cream
- 1 teaspoon sriracha
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 12 ounces crab meat (drained, two 6-ounce cans)
- 1 cup white cheddar cheese (shredded, divided)
- 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese
- 2 green onions (thinly sliced)
- 2 tablespoons sweet Thai chili sauce (or more to taste)
- 12 ounces square wonton wrappers (1 package)
- Vegetable oil (for frying)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese with a hand mixer until smooth. Add the sour cream, sriracha, Worcestershire sauce, and garlic powder and mix until combined.
- Using a rubber spatula, fold in the crab meat, 1/2 cup of white cheddar cheese, and the Parmesan.
- Transfer the dip to a shallow overproof dish (like a cast-iron skillet or pie plate). Top with the remaining 1/2 cup of cheese. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until bubbly.
- Remove from the oven, drizzle with sweet Thai chili sauce, and sprinkle with green onions. Serve warm with wonton chips or tortilla chips.
- Take the wonton wrappers out of the package and cut them in half to form triangles. You can make as many as you like. Set aside. Line a baking sheet with paper towels. Set aside.
- Fill a large pot 2/3 full with vegetable oil. Place over medium-high heat until the oil reaches 360 degrees F.
- Add 5-7 wonton triangles to the hot oil. You don’t want to overcrowd the pan. Fry for 60-90 seconds until golden. (They will get a little darker after coming out of the oil.)
- Use a spider strainer to transfer the wontons to the paper towel-lined baking sheet. Repeat until you have fried as many wonton chips as desired.
Notes
- Adjust the amount of sriracha and sweet Thai chili sauce to suit your spice preference.
- Can be served with tortilla chips if wonton chips are unavailable.
