01 - 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
02 - 1/2 cup mayonnaise
03 - 1 tablespoon soy sauce
04 - 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
05 - 1 garlic clove, minced
06 - 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper

12 - 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

# Directions:

01 - Preheat oven to 375°F. Lightly grease an 8x8-inch baking dish.
02 - In a large mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese, mayonnaise, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, minced garlic, ground black pepper, and salt. Beat until smooth and homogeneous.
03 - Gently fold in the lump crab meat, diced avocado, and sliced green onions until all ingredients are evenly distributed without breaking down the crab.
04 - Spread the crab mixture evenly in the prepared baking dish, creating a uniform layer.
05 - Arrange wonton triangles in a single layer over the filling, allowing pieces to slightly overlap. Brush with melted unsalted butter and sprinkle with sesame seeds if desired.
06 - Place the dish in the oven and bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the filling is bubbling and the wonton topping is golden brown and crisp.
07 - Allow the casserole to cool for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with additional sliced green onions or serve with sweet chili sauce if preferred.
