Step 1

Combine cream cheese, sugar, and egg until completely blended.
Place mixture in fridge for 30 minutes.

Preheat oil for frying.
Remove cream cheese mixture from fridge.
Lay wonton wrapper flat and wet fingers, brushing the edge of the wrapper.
Spoon a small spoonful of cream cheese mixture in the center of the wonton wrapper.
Fold wrapper into a triangle, then seal around the cream cheese, then out to the edges of the wrapper, pressing firmly.
Fold two bottom long ends of triangle over to make an envelope.
Repeat with remaining wontons and cream cheese.
