Single-Serve Rangoon Dip Recipe Breakdown

The creator’s method for this indulgent single-serve dish is both simple and chic. She begins by combining finely chopped crab and scallions with a portion of cream cheese. The mixture is elevated with the addition of garlic and all-purpose seasoning, creating a perfect balance of flavors. To add an extra layer of richness, she incorporates mozzarella cheese into the mixture before transferring it to a small ceramic bowl, topping it with an additional sprinkle of mozzarella for that perfect golden-brown finish when baked.

While the dip bakes to perfection, she demonstrates how to prepare fresh wonton chips, proving that even the accompaniments can be scaled down and made fresh for a single serving. The result is a perfectly portioned, restaurant-quality appetizer that eliminates waste while maximizing enjoyment.
