Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 oz lump crab meat
- 6 oz feta cheese, crumbled
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tbsp lemon juice, freshly squeezed
- 2 tbsp green onions, finely chopped
- 2 tsp fresh dill, chopped
- 0.5 tsp paprika
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 0.25 tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, sour cream, and mayonnaise. Mix until smooth and creamy.
Stir in the crumbled feta cheese, minced garlic, lemon juice, green onions, and fresh dill. Mix until everything is evenly distributed.
Gently fold in the lump crab meat, being careful not to break it apart too much.
Season the mixture with paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to combine.
Transfer the mixture to an oven-safe dish and smooth out the top with a spatula.
Drizzle the olive oil over the top for an added layer of richness.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes, or until the dip is heated through and just starting to bubble around the edges.
For a golden-brown finish, turn on the broiler for the last 2 minutes of cooking. Keep a close eye so it doesn’t burn.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.
Garnish with additional chopped green onions or dill if desired.
Serve hot with crackers, toasted bread, or fresh vegetable sticks. Enjoy!
