Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 ounces Lump crabmeat
- 14 ounces Canned artichoke hearts, drained and chopped
- 8 ounces Cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup Mayonnaise
- 1 cup Sour cream
- 1 cup Mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon Hot sauce (optional)
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 cup Bread crumbs (for topping, optional)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a medium-sized baking dish.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, mayonnaise, and sour cream. Mix until smooth and well blended.
Fold in the chopped artichoke hearts and lump crabmeat, being careful not to break up the crabmeat too much.
Add the mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, fresh parsley, lemon juice, hot sauce (if using), salt, and black pepper. Stir until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish, spreading it out into an even layer.
If desired, sprinkle bread crumbs over the top for added texture.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the dip is hot and bubbly and the top is lightly golden.
Remove the dish from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Garnish with additional parsley, if desired.
Serve warm with crackers, toasted baguette slices, or fresh vegetables for dipping.
