Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a muffin tin or spray with cooking spray.
  2. Press one wonton wrapper into each muffin cup, pushing gently into the corners to form a cup shape. Lightly brush or spray with oil.
  3. Bake the empty wrappers for 5 to 7 minutes until lightly golden but not fully browned.
  4. In a bowl, combine the cream cheese, crab, green onions, garlic, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, and black pepper. Mix until smooth and evenly combined.
  5. Spoon the filling into each pre-baked wonton shell, filling generously but not overflowing.
Baking
  1. Return the filled cups to the oven and bake for 10 to 12 minutes until the filling is hot and edges are golden.
  2. If desired, broil briefly for extra color on top, but watch closely to avoid burning.
Finishing Touches
  1. Let cups cool for 3 to 5 minutes. Top with extra green onion, sesame seeds, or sriracha drizzle before serving.

Notes

Serve warm for the best texture. Make ahead by filling cups and baking fresh before serving.
