DAILY RECIPE JANUARY 10TH: SWEET CREAM CHEESE FRIED WONTONS

Sweet Cream Cheese Fried Wontons


13 large wontons
1 egg
1 (8 ounce) Philadelphia Cream cheese, at room temperature
1/2 cup sugar
13 egg roll wraps (or a package of wonton wrappers)
1 cup water
oil (for frying)
Heat oil in a small pot.
Beat egg.
Mix cream cheese and 1/2 cup of sugar with egg..
Spoon mixture into center of wonton wrapper.
Moisten the edges of the wrapper with water and fold into whatever shape you desire.
Make sure to seal the edges so the cream cheese mixture doesn't escape during frying.
Drop into hot oil and brown both sides.
Serve with your favorite sauce or just eat 'em alone! ( I like to use a plum sauce)
