cream cheese

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: ricotta cheese

Greek yogurt reduces calories while maintaining creaminess

crab meat

🥗Healthier: imitation crab

💰Cheaper: canned tuna

Imitation crab is a lower-cost alternative with similar texture

Preheat the oven to 425°F.

Use a fork to gently roll down the length of the imitation crab legs to create long strands.

In a mixing bowl, combine cream cheese, scallions, granulated sugar, salt, pepper, and garlic; mix well.

Add the shredded imitation crab to the mixture and combine until well mixed.

Roll out the pie crust to about 1/4 inch thick.

Cut out circles using a 3 to 3.25 inch cookie cutter.

Place the dough circles on a baking tray lined with parchment paper.

Put a spoonful of the crab filling in the center of each circle.

In a small bowl, scramble the egg and brush a thin layer around the edges of each circle.

Pinch the sides together to form the classic crab rangoon shape, leaving some breathing room at the top.

Brush the tops with a layer of egg wash.

Bake in the oven for 12-15 minutes until golden brown.

Allow to cool for a few minutes before serving.
