📝 Instructions

9 steps

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, mayonnaise, and sour cream. Mix until smooth and creamy.

3. Stir in the shredded sharp cheddar cheese, Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, lemon juice, hot sauce, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper.

4. Gently fold in the Dungeness crab meat, being careful not to break it apart too much, to maintain its texture.

5. Transfer the mixture into a greased baking dish or oven-safe skillet, spreading it out evenly.

6. In a small bowl, mix the Panko breadcrumbs with the melted butter. Sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture evenly over the top of the crab dip.

7. Bake in the preheated oven for 20–25 minutes or until the dip is hot and bubbly, and the topping is golden brown.

8. Remove the dish from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes.

9. Garnish with chopped green onions and serve warm with crackers, sliced baguette, or fresh vegetables for dipping.
