Cottage Cheese Ragoons

Cottage Cheese Ragoons

These Cottage Cheese Rangoons reimagine the classic crab rangoon with a creamy cottage cheese twist. The filling blends whipped AE Dairy cottage cheese, scallions, soy, sesame, and crab for a rich, savory bite. You can pipe it into squash blossoms and tempura‑fry for a delicate, golden appetizer, or keep it traditional by sealing the mixture into wonton wrappers and frying until crisp. Either way, they deliver a crunchy shell with a smooth, flavorful center — perfect alongside sweet chili sauce.
