Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 ounces cream cheese
- 0.5 cup sour cream
- 0.25 cup mayonnaise
- 1 cup white cheddar cheese, shredded
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 0.5 teaspoon hot sauce
- 8 ounces lump crabmeat
- 2 green onions, finely sliced
- 0.25 teaspoon paprika
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1 loaf or box crusty bread or crackers, for serving
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, sour cream, and mayonnaise. Beat until smooth and well-blended.
Stir in the shredded white cheddar cheese, grated Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, Worcestershire sauce, and hot sauce. Mix until fully incorporated.
Gently fold in the lump crabmeat, being careful not to break it up too much. Next, add the finely sliced green onions, paprika, salt, black pepper, and lemon juice. Mix lightly to combine.
Transfer the mixture into an oven-safe dish and spread it evenly.
Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 18–20 minutes, or until the fondue is hot and bubbling around the edges. For an extra golden top, you can broil it for an additional 1–2 minutes, watching closely to prevent burning.
Remove the fondue from the oven and let it cool slightly.
Serve hot with slices of crusty bread or crackers for dipping. Enjoy!
