Ingredients:
24 wonton wrappers
8 ounces cream cheese softened
1/2 teaspoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1 egg beaten
oil for frying
2 teaspoons minced chives optional


Directions:
Combine the cream cheese, sugar and onion powder. Stir until well mixed.

Place a wonton wrapper on a flat surface and drop a teaspoon of the cream cheese mixture into the center. Brush the edges of the wonton with the egg.

Bring 2 opposite corners together in the middle of the wonton and pinch. Repeat with the other 2 corners and pinch to form a package shape.

Repeat with the remaining wontons and cream cheese until all are filled.

Heat 4 inches of oil in a deep pan to 350 degrees F.

Fry 5-6 wontons at a time, turning them as needed to make sure they brown evenly. This process should take about 3-5 minutes.

Drain the cooked wontons on paper towels and repeat the frying process with remaining wontons.

Sprinkle with chives and serve immediately with dipping sauce of choice.
