Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 oz cream cheese
- 0.5 cup mayonnaise
- 0.5 cup sour cream
- 0.5 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 14-oz can artichoke hearts, drained and chopped
- 8 oz lump crab meat
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tsp hot sauce (optional)
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 0.25 tsp black pepper
- 1 tbsp chopped parsley (for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, mayonnaise, and sour cream. Mix until smooth and creamy.
Stir in the Parmesan cheese, mozzarella cheese, minced garlic, lemon juice, hot sauce (if using), salt, and black pepper.
Gently fold in the chopped artichoke hearts and lump crab meat, being careful not to break up the crab too much.
Transfer the mixture to an oven-safe baking dish and spread it out evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the dip is hot and bubbly and the top is lightly golden.
Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly. Garnish with chopped parsley.
Serve warm with crackers, toasted baguette slices, or vegetable sticks for dipping.
