Preheat your 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 creamy.
Stir in the Parmesan cheese, half of the shredded cheddar cheese, Worcestershire sauce, lemon juice, minced garlic, Old Bay seasoning, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Gently fold in the lump crab meat, being careful not to break it apart too much. Mix until evenly distributed.
Spread the crab mixture evenly into the greased baking dish.
Sprinkle the remaining shredded cheddar cheese over the top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20–25 minutes or until the dip is hot and bubbly, and the top is golden brown.
Remove from the oven and garnish with chopped green onions and a light sprinkle of paprika, if desired.
Serve warm with crackers or toasted baguette slices for dipping.
