Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, minced garlic, dash of salt, and chopped green onions until well combined and smooth.
  • In a small bowl, whisk the egg until well beaten; keep the beaten egg nearby for sealing and brushing.
  • Place 1 teaspoon of the cream cheese mixture in the center of a wonton wrapper.
  • Dip a fingertip into the beaten egg and lightly moisten the outer edges of the wrapper.
  • Bring all four corners of the wonton up to the center and pinch them together to seal; press the sides to form an "X" or star shape. Add more beaten egg to the edges if any spots need resealing.
  • Repeat steps 4–6 for the remaining wonton wrappers.
  • Arrange the assembled wontons in a single layer on a foil-lined baking sheet, spacing them about 1 inch apart. Lightly brush the tops with any remaining beaten egg if you want a browned finish.
  • Bake at 375°F for 5 minutes, turn each wonton, then bake an additional 5 minutes, or until golden and crisp.
  • Remove from the oven, let cool 1–2 minutes, and serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce.
  • Air fryer option: cook at 350°F for 7 minutes in a single layer.
