Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 oz Cream cheese
- 0.5 cup Mayonnaise
- 0.5 cup Sour cream
- 1 lb Fresh lump crab meat
- 2 tbsp Hot sauce
- 1 tsp Garlic powder
- 0.5 tsp Cayenne pepper
- 1 cup Shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 0.5 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 0.25 cup Green onions, thinly sliced
- 2 tbsp Fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tbsp Lemon juice
- 0.25 cup Panko breadcrumbs
- 2 tbsp Butter, melted
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 0.25 tsp Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your 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 up too much.
Stir in the hot sauce, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, shredded sharp cheddar cheese, shredded mozzarella cheese, green onions, parsley, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Mix until evenly combined.
Transfer the mixture to a baking dish (a 9-inch or equivalent size dish works well) and spread it out evenly.
In a small bowl, combine the panko breadcrumbs and melted butter. Sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture on top of the crab dip.
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 20–25 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the dip is bubbly.
Remove from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve hot with crackers, toasted bread, or fresh vegetables for dipping.
