Time 25m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 lemon
1 cup mashed potatoes
1/2 cup shredded smoked gouda
2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley or basil(optional)
4 to 6 teaspoon honey mustard
6 ten-inch flour tortillas
Oil for brushing

Steps:

  • To make lemon zest, rub the lemon over a fine grater. Make sure you rub the fruit on a different spot each time you rub, so you remove the yellow skin not the yucky white pith. In a medium bowl mix together the lemon zest, potatoes, cheese, and parsley.
  • Lay 2 tortillas on the work space and brush each with honey mustard. Spread about a 1/3 of the potato mixture over one of the tortillas. Top with the other tortilla, mustard side down. Repeat with the remaining tortillas to make 3 tortilla sandwiches.
  • Brush a non-stick skillet lightly with oil and heat over medium heat. Add a filled tortilla to the pan and cook until brown, about 2 to 3 minutes per side. Transfer to cutting board and cut into wedges. Repeat with remaining tortillas. Serve.

Categories     Other Breads

Time 55m

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/2 onion, minced
2 can(s) white or lump crab
1 1/2 Tbsp lemon juice
1 can(s) whole water chestnuts, chopped small
dash red pepper flakes (optional)
8 oz cream cheese
1/4 c grated swiss cheese
phyllo or fillo dough
melted butter

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat over to 350 degrees Melt cream cheese Melt butter Clean and drain crab Chop onions and water chestnuts Mix crab, cream cheese, Swiss cheese, water chestnuts and onion, lemon juice and red pepper flakes Unwrap fillo dough ( it's very important to have all ingredients ready before dough is unwrapped as it dries out quickly) Place1 sheet on the counter or chopping board, brush with melted butter, do this with 5 sheets Cut sheets into four squares ( you will need to make another batch ( 5 sheets) for 8 triangles) Add mixture Press down on sides to make sure mixture does not leak out and brush with butter Place on cookie sheet (ungreased) and bake for 30-35 minutes until brown

Tips:

  • Prepare the crabmeat: For the best results, use fresh or frozen crabmeat that has been picked clean of shells and cartilage. If you're using frozen crabmeat, thaw it completely before using.
  • Use a sharp knife: When cutting the wonton wrappers, use a sharp knife to ensure clean, even cuts.
  • Don't overfill the wonton wrappers: When filling the wonton wrappers, be careful not to overfill them, as this can make them difficult to fold and seal properly.
  • Seal the wonton wrappers tightly: Once you've filled the wonton wrappers, be sure to seal them tightly to prevent the filling from leaking out during cooking.
  • Cook the wontons in hot oil: When frying the wontons, make sure the oil is hot enough to prevent them from sticking to the pan. The ideal temperature for frying is between 350°F and 375°F.
  • Drain the wontons on paper towels: After frying the wontons, drain them on paper towels to remove any excess oil.

Conclusion:

Cheesy crab triangles are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer that is perfect for any occasion. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a dish that will impress your guests. The wonton wrappers provide a crispy outer shell, while the crabmeat and cheese filling is rich and flavorful. Serve these triangles with your favorite dipping sauce for a complete and satisfying snack or appetizer.
