This was absolutely to die for! I keep thinking about the flavors and how I might use this in other recipes. It’s that good!

This was a winning recipe! It was absolutely delicious. Rave reviews as well from guests. The only thing I struggled with is the honey mixture was quite runny and so made the dip a bit soupy. Is there a fix for this? I followed the recipe exactly so I’m not sure what I did wrong.

Very Easy, 10 out of 10,it's going to my next pot luck or dinner party.

Have made this dip before but this time after putting into serving dish, and spooning honey mixture, dip turned into a watery mess that would not even grab onto pita chips.  It was like I poured water into the dish.  Have no idea what could have cause this.  Has this happened to anyone else?  Please email me if it has or if you have any suggestions - love this dip!!

I made this and the taste was amazing. But the dip was very “liquidy.”  Then it did not look appealing. I wonder why?  Was it the consistency of the honey or any other ideas?  I do want to make it again with the correction. Thanks

Golden wontons filled with creamy crab and cheese, air-fried to a crispy finish.

Air Fried Crab Wontons

oz cream cheese, softened

3.5 oz crab meat (fresh, canned,

spring onions, finely sliced

garlic clove,

soy sauce

Worcestershire sauce

black pepper

salt

square wonton wrappers

Water

Cooking spray or vegetable oil

sweet chili sauce

Prepare the filling

In a medium bowl, combine softened cream cheese, flaked crab meat, sliced spring onions, minced garlic, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, black pepper, and salt. Mix until smooth and well incorporated.

Fill the wonton wrappers

Place a wonton wrapper on a clean work surface. Spoon approximately 1 teaspoon of filling into the center of each wrapper.

Seal the wontons

Moisten the edges of the wrapper with water using your finger. Fold the wrapper in half diagonally to form a triangle, pressing out any air and sealing the edges firmly. Optionally, bring the two corners together and seal to form a traditional wonton shape.

Complete assembly

Repeat the filling and sealing process with the remaining wonton wrappers and filling until all are prepared.

Apply oil coating

Lightly spray the filled wontons with cooking spray or brush with a small amount of vegetable oil on all sides.

Preheat the air fryer

Set the air fryer to 375°F and preheat for 3 minutes.

Arrange in air fryer

Place wontons in a single layer in the air fryer basket, ensuring they do not overlap or touch each other.

Air fry until golden

Cook for 7 to 9 minutes, turning halfway through the cooking time, until golden brown and crispy.

Serve

Transfer wontons to a serving plate and serve hot with dipping sauce on the side.
