This is one appetizer that you will want to put at the top of you list to make.
And don’t wait for some special occasion,
trust me,
you will want to make these PRONTO!
They are crunchy, creamy and delicious.
All the necessary components to a great appetizer if you ask me.
Wontons are so great, they look intricate, but are really easy to make and don’t take as long as you would think. Before you know it you will have a whole plate full of these delicious pillows of yumminess.
Place a tablespoon of avocado cream cheese mixture into the center of each wonton wrapper.
Apply egg wash to the edges of the wonton wrapper and press the sides together and make sure all the edges are sealed well so the filling doesn’t come out when they are cooking.
These are easy to make and in minutes you will have a hot and crispy appetizer.
With only a few ingredients you can make many batches of these if you eat them all up while making them and need more to share with everyone else.
- 1 ripe California Avocado
- 4 oz cream cheese (room temperature)
- 1 scallion diced
- 1 jalapeño diced really fine
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 24 wonton wrappers
- 1 egg
- 1 tablespoon water
- oil for frying wontons
- Saute the diced jalapeño in a tablespoon of oil in skillet until it's softened
- cut avocado and mash it until it's smooth
- mix in cream cheese, scallion and jalapeño, along with salt until creamy and smooth
- fill each wonton wrapper with 1 tablespoon of the mixture
- mix egg and water in small bowl
- rub the edges of each wonton wrapper with egg wash and fold all 4 corners to the center closing the wonton and sealing the seams together so the filling doesn't come out when fried
- Place wontons into a pan of heated oil at 350-375 degrees (I use a 2 quart saucepan with a couple inches of oil)
- fry wontons until golden in color,
- drain on paper towels
- Fried Ravioli with Feta Basil Dip
- Texas Egg Rolls
- Prosciutto and Cantaloupe

- Avocado Cream Cheese Wontons
If you like a little spice in your life, you will love these dipped in Sriracha!

August 25, 2014 at 2:07 pmThese are ADORABLE! I think I could probably serve them for dinner with a glass of white wine on the side and my husband would be perfectly, completely happy – no main course needed! I love wonton wrappers – I make these lasagna cupcakes with them: http://www.framedcooks.com/2010/08/lasagna-cupcakes-2.html

October 16, 2014 at 11:19 amCan you bake these instead?
Diane says
October 16, 2014 at 12:55 pmI’m sure you could. I haven’t baked them yet, so I don’t have a time and temperature. I would suggest 400 degrees for maybe 8-10 minutes. Just a guess.
