Description

These Easy Baked Cream Cheese Rangoon Rolls are a lighter, baked version of the classic crab rangoon. Egg roll wrappers are filled with a creamy, savory mixture of cream cheese, garlic salt, and green onions, then baked until golden brown and crispy.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened to room temperature
  • 15 egg roll wrappers
  • 12 tablespoons vegetable oil or canola oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic salt
  • 2 tablespoons finely chopped green onions (scallions)
  • 23 tablespoons sweet and sour sauce, for dipping (optional)

Instructions

  • Soften Cream Cheese: Allow the cream cheese to soften at room temperature for about 30 minutes, or microwave it on a defrost setting for short intervals until softened but not melted.

  • Preheat Oven and Prepare Baking Sheet: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or non-stick aluminum foil.

  • Make Cream Cheese Filling: In a medium bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, garlic salt, and finely chopped green onions. Mix well with a fork or spoon until everything is thoroughly combined.

  • Prepare Oil and Water: Pour about 2 tablespoons of vegetable or canola oil onto a plate or shallow dish. Have a small bowl of water nearby for moistening your fingers.

  • Assemble Rangoon Rolls:

    • Lay one egg roll wrapper flat on a clean work surface.
    • Place about 2 tablespoons of the cream cheese mixture onto the bottom portion of the egg roll wrapper. Do not spread the filling all the way to the edges; the cream cheese will expand slightly during baking.
    • Moisten the top edge of the wrapper with water (using your fingers).
    • Tightly roll the wrapper up from the bottom, enclosing the filling, similar to rolling a burrito.
    • Seal the edges by pressing the moistened edge firmly against the roll. Add more water if needed to ensure a good seal.
    • Repeat with the remaining egg roll wrappers and filling.
  • Coat with Oil: Lightly roll each assembled rangoon roll in the oil on the plate, coating the entire surface. Pay particular attention to the edges, as this will help them crisp up in the oven. Alternatively, you can use a pastry brush to brush the oil onto the rolls.

  • Arrange on Baking Sheet: Place the oil-coated rangoon rolls on the prepared baking sheet, leaving a little space between each roll.

  • Bake: Bake for 12-15 minutes, flipping them over halfway through the baking time, until they are golden brown and crispy.

  • Serve with sweet and sour sauce.


Notes

  • Cream Cheese: Make sure the cream cheese is softened to room temperature for easy mixing.
  • Egg Roll Wrappers: You can find egg roll wrappers in the refrigerated section of most grocery stores, usually near the produce or tofu.
  • Filling Amount: Be careful not to overfill the egg roll wrappers, or they may burst during baking.
  • Sealing: Make sure to seal the edges of the rangoon rolls tightly to prevent the filling from leaking out.
  • Oil Coating: Coating the rolls in oil helps them become crispy in the oven.
  • Baking Time: The baking time may vary slightly depending on your oven.
  • Serving Suggestion: Sweet and Sour Sauce
