Ingredients
- 8 ounces cream cheese
- 0.5 cups mayonnaise
- 0.5 cups sour cream
- 1 cups cheddar cheese, shredded
- 0.5 cups Parmesan cheese, grated
- 8 ounces lump crab meat
- 1 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
- 0.5 teaspoons hot sauce (optional)
- 0.5 teaspoons garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoons onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoons paprika
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons bread crumbs (optional, for topping)
- 1 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large mixing bowl, combine cream cheese, mayonnaise, and sour cream, mixing until smooth and well combined.
Add shredded cheddar cheese, grated Parmesan cheese, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce (if using), garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly.
Gently fold in the lump crab meat, being careful not to break up the chunks too much.
Transfer the mixture to a small oven-safe baking dish or cast-iron skillet. Spread the mixture evenly.
If desired, sprinkle the top with bread crumbs for a crispy topping.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes or until the dip is heated through and bubbling around the edges.
Optional: Turn on the broiler for 1-2 minutes at the end to brown the top lightly.
Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes.
Garnish with chopped parsley before serving, if desired.
Serve the dip warm with crackers, toasted baguette slices, or fresh vegetables.
