How to Make:

Preheat the oven to 375°F and line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.

Crack the egg in a small bowl and add 2 tablespoons of water. Whisk together to make an egg wash.

In a large mixing bowl, break up the crab meat with a fork, then add the cream cheese, yogurt, soy sauce, garlic powder and onions. Mix together until incorporated.

Lay the wonton wrappers out on the baking sheets and egg wash the edges. Spoon ½ tablespoon of the mixture into each wonton wrapper.

To seal the wrapper, fold each wonton in half diagonally to make a triangle and gently press the edges together to adhere to each other with the egg wash.

Bake until the wonton edges are golden and the filling is heated through, 10-12 minutes.
