Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 ounces Low-fat cream cheese
- 1 cup Greek yogurt (nonfat, plain)
- 8 ounces Lump crab meat
- 2 teaspoons Hot sauce
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Green onions (thinly sliced)
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Cayenne pepper (optional, for extra heat)
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the low-fat cream cheese and Greek yogurt. Stir until well blended and smooth.
Gently fold in the lump crab meat, being careful not to break it apart too much.
Add the hot sauce, lemon juice, green onions, garlic powder, paprika, cayenne pepper (if using), salt, and black pepper to the mixture. Mix until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
Transfer the mixture to an oven-safe baking dish. Spread it out evenly with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes or until heated through and slightly bubbling at the edges.
Remove the dish from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve warm with whole-grain crackers, sliced veggies, or toasted baguette slices for dipping.
