Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 ounces cream cheese
- 0.5 cups mayonnaise
- 0.5 cups sour cream
- 0.5 teaspoons garlic powder
- 1 teaspoons Old Bay seasoning
- 1 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
- 0.5 cups grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 8 ounces crabmeat or cooked shrimp (chopped)
- 2 stalks green onions (chopped)
- 0.25 cups bread crumbs (optional)
- 1 tablespoon butter (melted, optional for topping)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, mayonnaise, sour cream, garlic powder, Old Bay seasoning, lemon juice, and Worcestershire sauce. Mix well until smooth and creamy.
Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese, half of the shredded mozzarella cheese, and the chopped green onions.
Gently fold in the crabmeat or shrimp, making sure to distribute it evenly throughout the mixture.
Transfer the dip mixture into an oven-safe baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
Sprinkle the remaining shredded mozzarella cheese on top. If using breadcrumbs, mix them with the melted butter and sprinkle the mixture over the cheese layer for added texture.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the dip is bubbling around the edges.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.
Serve hot with crackers, sliced baguette, or fresh vegetables for dipping.
