Indulge in the creamy, savory decadence of Hot Crab and Artichoke Dip—a crowd-pleasing appetizer that delivers rich flavors and a touch of elegance to any gathering. This irresistible baked dip combines tender lump crab meat, tangy artichoke hearts, and a luscious blend of cream cheese, Parmesan, and mozzarella, all infused with zesty notes of lemon, garlic, and a hint of hot sauce for a subtle kick. Perfectly golden and bubbly after just 25 minutes in the oven, this dip pairs beautifully with crackers, toasted baguette slices, or crisp veggies for dipping. Whether you're hosting a party or enjoying a cozy night in, this warm and cheesy delight will quickly become a table favorite.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 1.5-quart baking dish.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, mayonnaise, and sour cream. Mix until smooth and creamy.
Fold in the lump crab meat, chopped artichoke hearts, Parmesan cheese, 3/4 of the shredded mozzarella (reserve the rest for topping), minced garlic, parsley, lemon juice, hot sauce, salt, and black pepper. Stir until evenly combined.
Transfer the mixture into the greased baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
Sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup of shredded mozzarella over the top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20–25 minutes, or until the dip is bubbly and the top is golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes. Garnish with extra chopped parsley if desired.
Serve warm with crackers, baguette slices, or fresh vegetables for dipping.
