Crab and Blue Cheese Bundles

Source of Recipe


"The Entertaining Encyclopedia" by Denise Vivaldo



List of Ingredients



• 12 ounces cooked lump crabmeat
  
• ¼ cup crumbled blue cheese
  
• 2 Tbsp finely chopped chives
  
• 2 Tbsp mayonnaise
  
• 2 Tbsp cream cheese, softened
  
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper
  
• 18 wonton wrappers
  
• Vegetable or canola oil
  






Instructions



1. In a bowl, combine crab, blue cheese, chives, mayonnaise, and cream cheese. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
   
   
2. Place a generous teaspoon of crab mixture in the center of each wrapper, then lightly moisten the inside edges with water. Gather edges together to make little sacks and pinch to seal.
   
   
3. In a deep, heavy saucepan, heat 3 inches of oil over medium heat until it registers 350° F on a deep-fry thermometer. Working in batches, fry crab bundles until golden, about 4 minutes. Using tongs or a slotted spoon, remove bundles to a plate lined with paper towels to drain before serving.
