Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 pieces wonton wrappers
- 1 as needed cooking spray
- 1 cup crab meat (fresh or canned, drained)
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons finely chopped celery
- 2 tablespoons finely chopped red bell pepper
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon dijon mustard
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon finely sliced green onion
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Lightly spray a mini muffin tin with cooking spray.
Press a wonton wrapper gently into each muffin cup, shaping it to form a cup. Ensure the edges slightly flare out.
Lightly spray the wonton wrappers with cooking spray to help them crisp up.
Bake the wonton cups for 8-10 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy. Remove from the oven and let them cool completely on a wire rack.
In a medium bowl, combine the crab meat, mayonnaise, celery, red bell pepper, lemon juice, dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.
Gently fold in the parsley and green onion for added freshness.
Spoon the crab salad mixture evenly into the cooled wonton cups.
Optional: Garnish with an additional sprinkle of parsley or a small slice of red bell pepper for presentation.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
