I better put this in here before I forget what I did!! I bought 8oz of Fresh Crab Meat and a 1 package of Wonton Wrappers and that was enough to inspire me to make up this finger food which was served during the Wild Card NFL games. I made 24 cups and had enough filling to make an additional 8-10.
Peel and cook in boiling water 2 Ears of Fresh Corn for 2 minutes and quickly rinse in cold water. Remove corn from cob. Place in bowl.
Beat 3 oz Cream Cheese with 1/2 Cup Sour Cream. Beat in 1 Egg. Mix in 1 Cup Parmesan Cheese. I used fresh, already grated Parmesan but you can kicked it up if you want to grate your own. Add Salt & Pepper to taste and 1/2 tsp Thyme, 1/4 tsp Paprika. Stir in Corn and 8 oz Crab, lump is best but don't get claw meat Preheat oven to 375. Melt 2 Tbl Butter. Using a Cooking Spray, lightly coat the cups of a mini 24 cup pan. Using a biscuit cutter, cut 24 Wontons in rounds. Add a wonton to each cup and butter the inside with melted butter. Add filling until just slightly below the top of the cup, these will rise a little. Bake for 20 minutes or until the filling looks set and the cups are browned. Serve at once.
NOTE: You can add either sauteed Minced Shallots or thinly sliced Scallions to the mixture for additional flavor. I opted to go without but next time I will add one of them. The crab flavor is more prominent without these flavors.
