Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 ounces cream cheese
- 0.5 cups sour cream
- 0.25 cups mayonnaise
- 8 ounces lump crab meat
- 1 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 0.25 cups grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
- 0.5 teaspoons garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoons onion powder
- 1 teaspoons Old Bay seasoning
- 0.5 teaspoons hot sauce (optional)
- 2 tablespoons chopped green onions
- 0.25 cups panko breadcrumbs
- 1 teaspoons olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 1-quart baking dish and set it aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, sour cream, and mayonnaise. Mix until smooth and creamy.
Gently fold in the lump crab meat, shredded cheddar cheese, Parmesan cheese, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, Old Bay seasoning, and hot sauce (if using). Make sure all ingredients are evenly distributed but try not to break apart the lumps of crab.
Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly.
In a small bowl, combine the panko breadcrumbs with olive oil. Stir until the breadcrumbs are lightly coated.
Sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture evenly over the top of the crab dip.
Bake the dip in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the dip is hot and bubbly and the top is golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes. Sprinkle the top with chopped green onions for garnish.
Serve warm with crackers, baguette slices, or fresh veggies for dipping. Enjoy the praise from your guests!
