Instructions
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, add the cream cheese, mayonnaise, and sour cream. Use a hand mixer or a whisk to combine until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
Gently fold in the lump crab meat, being careful not to break up the crab pieces too much. Mix until evenly distributed.
Add the lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, Old Bay seasoning, garlic powder, cayenne pepper (if using), salt, and ground black pepper. Stir until all the ingredients are well combined.
Taste the dip and adjust seasonings as needed, adding more Old Bay seasoning, salt, or lemon juice if desired.
Transfer the crab dip to a serving bowl and top with chopped chives for garnish.
Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors meld together. Serve chilled with crackers, baguette slices, or fresh vegetable sticks.
