To prepare, these cream cheese rangoon can be cooked in an oven or air fryer until they are golden brown and heated through. For oven preparation, spread them in a single layer on a baking sheet and bake at the recommended temperature until crisp. If using an air fryer, arrange them in the basket, ensuring they are not overcrowded, and cook until done. They are best served immediately after cooking to maintain their crispness. Avoid microwaving, as this can make the wrappers soggy.
