Indulge in the ultimate party pleaser with this rich and creamy Crab Artichoke Dip, a crowd-pleasing appetizer that's bursting with flavor. Featuring tender lump crabmeat and hearty artichoke hearts, this decadent dip is elevated by a luscious blend of cream cheese, sour cream, and mayonnaise for an irresistibly smooth texture. Shredded mozzarella, grated Parmesan, and a hint of garlic and fresh parsley add layers of savory goodness, while a squeeze of lemon juice brightens every bite. Baked until hot and bubbly with an optional golden breadcrumb topping, this dip is the perfect companion to crackers, toasted baguette slices, or crisp veggies. Ready in just 40 minutes, it's an easy yet elegant dish that's ideal for gatherings, game days, or indulgent snacking.
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.
