Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 oz Cream cheese
- 8 oz Crabmeat (fresh, canned, or imitation)
- 0.5 cup Mayonnaise
- 1 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 2 stalks Green onions, finely chopped
- 1 tsp Garlic powder
- 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tsp Hot sauce
- 1 tbsp Lemon juice
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 0.25 tsp Black pepper
- 0.25 cup Panko breadcrumbs
- 2 tbsp Butter, melted
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a medium-sized baking dish with non-stick cooking spray or butter.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, mayonnaise, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, hot sauce, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Mix until smooth and well blended.
Fold in the crabmeat, green onions, and half of the shredded mozzarella cheese until evenly incorporated.
Transfer the crab mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly.
In a separate bowl, mix the Panko breadcrumbs with the melted butter until the crumbs are evenly coated.
Sprinkle the buttered breadcrumbs over the crab mixture, followed by the remaining shredded mozzarella cheese.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbling and golden brown on top.
Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve warm with toasted baguette slices, crackers, or vegetable crudités for dipping.
