Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Lump crab meat
- 8 ounces Cream cheese
- 0.5 cup Mayonnaise
- 0.5 cup Sour cream
- 1 cup Cheddar cheese, shredded
- 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 2 Green onions, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 0.5 teaspoon Hot sauce (optional)
- 1 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning (or similar seafood seasoning)
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice, freshly squeezed
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 cup Panko breadcrumbs (optional, for topping)
- 1 tablespoon Butter, melted (optional, for breadcrumbs)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease an oven-safe baking dish.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, mayonnaise, and sour cream. Mix until smooth and well combined.
Add the shredded cheddar cheese, grated Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, chopped green onions, Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce (if using), Old Bay seasoning, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Stir until evenly distributed.
Gently fold in the lump crab meat, being cautious not to break up the pieces too much.
Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly.
If you choose to add a breadcrumb topping, mix the panko breadcrumbs with the melted butter and sprinkle the mixture evenly over the crab dip.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until the dip is bubbly and the top is golden brown.
Remove the dip from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve warm with crackers, sliced baguette, or fresh vegetables for dipping.
