Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 ounces Lump crab meat
- 14 ounces Artichoke hearts (canned, drained and chopped)
- 8 ounces Cream cheese (softened)
- 0.5 cup Mayonnaise
- 0.5 cup Sour cream
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese (grated)
- 1 cup Mozzarella cheese (shredded)
- 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 0.5 teaspoon Hot sauce (optional)
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh parsley (for garnish)
- Crackers, bread, or vegetables (for serving, optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a baking dish (8-inch size or similar) with non-stick spray or a light coat of oil.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, mayonnaise, sour cream, grated Parmesan cheese, 3/4 cup of the mozzarella cheese (reserve the rest for topping), minced garlic, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce (if using), salt, and black pepper. Mix well until smooth and creamy.
Gently fold in the lump crab meat and chopped artichoke hearts, being careful not to break apart the crab meat too much.
Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly.
Sprinkle the reserved 1/4 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese over the top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the dip is bubbly and the top is golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley.
Serve warm with crackers, sliced baguette, or vegetable sticks.
