Ingredients
- 8 ounces Lump crab meat (cooked and drained)
- 8 ounces Low-fat cream cheese (softened)
- 1 cup Plain nonfat Greek yogurt
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese (grated)
- 1 tablespoon Fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper

- 2 tablespoons Chopped green onions (for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the low-fat cream cheese and plain nonfat Greek yogurt. Mix until smooth and well combined.
Add the Parmesan cheese, fresh lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, Old Bay seasoning, garlic powder, black pepper, and hot sauce (if using). Stir until evenly mixed.
Gently fold in the lump crab meat, being careful not to break up the pieces too much.
Transfer the mixture to a small baking dish and spread it out evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the dip is hot and bubbly around the edges.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly for a few minutes. Garnish with chopped green onions before serving.
Serve warm with your choice of dippers such as whole-grain crackers, sliced vegetables, or toasted baguette slices.
