Easy Baked Cream Cheese Rangoon Rolls Recipe

Introduction

Easy Baked Cream Cheese Rangoon Rolls are a delicious, lighter alternative to the traditional fried version. Crispy on the outside and creamy inside, these rolls make a perfect appetizer or snack that’s simple to prepare and bake.

Ingredients

• 8 ounces cream cheese (softened)
• 15 egg roll wraps
• 1-2 tbsp vegetable or canola oil
• 1/2 tsp garlic salt
• 2 tbsp finely chopped green onions
• 2-3 tbsp sweet and sour sauce (for dipping)

Instructions

1. Step 1: Allow the cream cheese to soften on the counter for about 30 minutes, or soften in the microwave on defrost if you’re short on time.
2. Step 2: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or non-stick foil.
3. Step 3: In a medium bowl, mix the softened cream cheese with garlic salt and chopped green onions until well combined.
4. Step 4: Prepare a small bowl of water for wetting your fingers and pour 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil onto a plate or shallow dish.
5. Step 5: Lay one egg roll wrap flat and spoon about 2 tablespoons of the cream cheese mixture onto the bottom portion of the wrap, leaving edges clear.
6. Step 6: Dip your fingers in water and moisten the top edge of the wrap. Tightly roll the wrap around the filling, pressing the moistened edge to seal like an envelope. Repeat with all wraps.
7. Step 7: Roll each sealed wrap in the oil, coating thoroughly especially around the edges to ensure even baking.
8. Step 8: Place the rolls on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crisp.
9. Step 9: Serve warm with sweet and sour sauce for dipping.

Tips & Variations

• For extra flavor, add a pinch of finely minced garlic or a dash of soy sauce to the cream cheese mixture.
• Substitute green onions with finely chopped chives or fresh cilantro for a different herbal note.
• If you prefer, brush the rolls lightly with oil instead of rolling them in it to reduce fat content.
• Try serving with other dipping sauces like spicy mustard or chili garlic sauce for variation.

Storage

Store leftover rangoon rolls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place them on a baking sheet and warm in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 5-7 minutes to retain crispiness. Avoid microwaving to prevent sogginess.

How to Serve

Serve this delicious recipe with your favorite sides.

FAQs

Can I freeze these cream cheese rangoon rolls?

Yes, you can freeze the uncooked rolls before baking. Arrange them on a baking sheet and freeze until solid, then transfer to a freezer bag. Bake them directly from frozen, adding a few extra minutes to the baking time.

What can I use if I don’t have egg roll wraps?

If egg roll wraps are not available, spring roll wrappers or wonton wrappers can be used as substitutes. Keep in mind that wonton wrappers are smaller, so you may want to use less filling or fold differently.

Ingredients

Scale 1x2x3x

Filling

• 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic salt
• 2 tablespoons finely chopped green onions

Wraps and Coating

• 15 egg roll wraps
• 1–2 tablespoons vegetable or canola oil

Dipping Sauce

• 2–3 tablespoons sweet and sour sauce (for dipping)

Instructions

1. Soften the Cream Cheese: Allow the cream cheese to soften on the counter for about 30 minutes, or use the microwave defrost setting for quicker softening. This makes it easier to mix and spread evenly.
2. Preheat Oven and Prepare Baking Sheet: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or non-stick foil to prevent sticking during baking.
3. Mix the Filling: In a medium bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, garlic salt, and finely chopped green onions. Mix thoroughly using a fork or spoon until the ingredients are well incorporated.
4. Prepare for Wrapping: Fill a small bowl with water to moisten your fingers for sealing the wraps. Pour 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil onto a plate or shallow dish, which will be used to coat the rolled wraps before baking.
5. Assemble the Rolls: Lay one egg roll wrap flat on your work surface. Place about 2 tablespoons of the cream cheese mixture near the bottom portion of the wrap, leaving edges clear. Dip your fingers in the water and moisten the top edge of the wrap. Then tightly roll the wrap around the filling like an envelope, sealing the edge firmly to prevent filling from leaking during baking. Repeat with all wraps.
6. Coat the Rolls in Oil: One at a time, roll each sealed Rangoon in the vegetable oil on the plate, making sure they are evenly coated, especially the sealed edges which need protection during baking. A basting brush can be used if preferred for even coating.
7. Bake the Rangoon Rolls: Arrange the oil-coated rolls on the prepared baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, flipping them over halfway through the baking time to ensure even crisping on all sides.
8. Serve: Remove from oven and let the rolls cool slightly before serving. Serve warm with sweet and sour sauce for dipping.

Notes

• The cream cheese should be softened to make spreading easier and to ensure a smooth filling.
• If you prefer a crispier texture, you can add an extra 2-3 minutes to baking time but watch carefully to avoid burning.
• Use water to seal the wraps properly to avoid the filling leaking out during baking.
• Vegetable or canola oil is recommended for coating as it has a neutral flavor and withstands baking heat well.
• These can be prepared ahead and refrigerated until baking time for convenience.
• Sweet and sour sauce is the classic dipping choice, but you can substitute with duck sauce or soy sauce according to preference.
