CRAB PHYLLO CUPS



Crab Phyllo Cups image

I always like a little extra chili sauce on top of these easy snacks. If you're out of crab, try them with water-packed tuna. -Johnna Johnson, Scottsdale, Arizona

Crab Rangoon (Cream Cheese Crab Wonton) image

Classic recipe for crab rangoon with cream cheese and scallions from Jet Tila.

Provided by Jet Tila

Categories     Appetizer     Crab     Cream Cheese     Fry     Deep-Fry     Green Onion/Scallion     Hors D'Oeuvre     Kid-Friendly     Small Plates

Yield Makes 24 pieces

Number Of Ingredients 8

8 oz (227 g) lump crab meat or snow crab
16 oz (454 g) cream cheese, room temp
2 green onions (whites only), very finely chopped
2 tbsp (5 g) finely chopped tarragon
Salt and pepper
24 wonton skins (square)
1 egg, slightly beaten, for sealing
2 qt (1.9 L) vegetable oil for frying

Steps:

  • Press out as much liquid as possible from any crab meat you are using. Any excess moisture will soak through the wonton skins. In a medium bowl combine the crab, cream cheese, green onion, tarragon, salt and pepper either with your hands or a mixer with a paddle attachment.
  • Take a wonton skin, place 1 teaspoon of filling in the center of each wrapper. With a finger dipped in egg, moisten the 2 adjacent sides; fold over the opposing corner to make a triangle. (You have some choices with shape. You can make a purse, tortellini or traditional triangle wontons.)
  • Place the completed ones on a tray. Uncooked, rangoons can be wrapped and kept frozen for 1 to 2 weeks and dropped into the fryer frozen.
  • Heat oil in a 4- or 5-quart (3.8- or 4.7-L) Dutch oven or pot until the oil reaches 360°F (182°C). Fry in small batches until golden about 2 minutes on each side and drain on a wire rack over a cookie sheet. I like to serve these with sweet chili or plum sauce.

CRAB-CHEESE HORS D'OEUVRES



Crab-Cheese Hors D'oeuvres image

My sister in-law gave me this recipe when I was first married. Our family cannot wait to scoop these up as soon as they come out of the oven. These are quick, simple to make, and the ingredients can be kept on hand easily. Can use frozen English muffins without defrosting. Do not substitute butter for margarine as the consistency is changed with butter.

Yield Makes 3 1/2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 15

3 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 medium shallots, minced
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
3/4 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning
1 1/2 teaspoon dry mustard
3/4 cup half-and-half
8 ounces cream cheese, cut into small pieces
4 ounces sharp white cheddar cheese, grated on the large holes of a box grater (about 1 3/4 cups)

10 ounces lump crabmeat, picked over for cartilage
1/2 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
2 slices white bread, crusts removed, torn into 1/4-inch pieces

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees with a rack in the center. Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add shallots and cook until soft, about 2 minutes. Add 1 tablespoon water and simmer for 30 seconds. Stir in the cayenne, Old Bay, and dry mustard until well combined. Pour half-and-half into saucepan and bring to a simmer. Slowly whisk in the cream cheese, a few pieces at a time. When the cream cheese is fully incorporated, whisk in the cheddar cheese, a handful at a time. Stir the mixture for 2 minutes. Remove from heat. Add lemon juice and Worcestershire sauce; stir to combine. Stir in crabmeat and half of the parsley.
  • Transfer mixture to an ovenproof baking dish and sprinkle with bread pieces. Dot top of bread pieces with remaining tablespoons butter; sprinkle with paprika.
