Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 oz Cream cheese
- 0.5 cup Mayonnaise
- 0.5 cup Sour cream
- 8 oz Lump crab meat
- 1 tsp Garlic powder
- 1 tsp Onion powder
- 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tbsp Lemon juice
- 0.5 tsp Hot sauce
- 1 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 0.5 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tbsp Fresh parsley (chopped)
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 0.25 tsp Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, mayonnaise, and sour cream. Mix until smooth and creamy.
Gently fold in the crab meat, being careful not to break it apart too much.
Add garlic powder, onion powder, Worcestershire sauce, lemon juice, hot sauce, salt, and black pepper to the mixture. Stir well to distribute the seasonings evenly.
Fold in 3/4 cup of shredded mozzarella and 1/4 cup of Parmesan cheese, reserving the remaining portions for topping.
Transfer the mixture to a greased 1-quart baking dish and spread it evenly.
Sprinkle the reserved mozzarella and Parmesan cheese over the top of the dip.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the dip is bubbling and the top is golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly for 5 minutes. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley.
Serve warm with crackers, baguette slices, tortilla chips, or fresh vegetable sticks.
