1. In a bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, minced garlic, dried parsley, dried basil, and onion powder. Season the mixture with salt and pepper to taste. Give it a good mix until everything is beautifully incorporated.
2. Place the wonton wrappers on a flat surface. Spoon about one tablespoon of the cream cheese mixture into the center of each wrapper.
3. Brush the edges of the wrappers lightly with the beaten egg – this will act as your “glue” to seal the deal.
4. To form the rolls, fold the wrapper over the filling to create a triangle, pressing the edges to seal. Then fold the two opposing corners together, giving you a lovely little packet.
5. Heat the vegetable oil in a deep pot or fryer to 350°F (that’s the sweet spot where magic happens). In batches, fry the rangoon rolls for about 2 to 3 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy. Be sure to turn them as needed for even cooking.
6. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the cooked rangoon rolls to a paper-towel-lined plate to drain off any excess oil.
7. Allow them to cool for a minute or two before serving – a bit of patience will save you from a hot cheese surprise.
Variations & Tips
– If you have folks in your family who aren’t fans of garlic, feel free to customize the filling. You can substitute the garlic with a teaspoon of honey or even a sprinkle of cinnamon for a sweeter twist.
– To make these rangoon rolls a bit lighter, try baking them in a 375°F oven for 10-15 minutes or until they turn golden and crispy. Just remember to spray them with a bit of cooking spray to help them brown.
– If you’re in a rush or looking for a tidier method, you can use a pastry bag (or a zip-top bag with the corner snipped off) to pipe the filling onto the wonton wrappers.
– For a special touch, throw in some chopped chives or green onions into the cream cheese mixture. This adds color and a subtle onion flavor that brings out the best in the rangoon rolls.
I hope these garlic herb cream cheese rangoon rolls bring a touch of joy to your table and give your loved ones another tasty reason to gather ’round. Enjoy!
