Ingredients
- 8 ounces cream cheese
- 0.5 cups mayonnaise
- 0.5 cups sour cream
- 1 cups sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
- 0.25 cups Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 2 teaspoons Old Bay seasoning
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 16 ounces crab meat (preferably lump)
- 2 stalks green onions, thinly sliced

Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, mayonnaise, and sour cream. Mix until smooth and creamy.
Stir in the sharp cheddar cheese, Parmesan cheese, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, Old Bay seasoning, and minced garlic. Mix until well incorporated.
Gently fold in the lump crab meat, being careful not to break up the crab too much. Add the sliced green onions and mix lightly.
Transfer the mixture into an oven-safe baking dish, spreading it evenly.
Sprinkle the top with paprika for added color and flavor.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the dip is bubbly and slightly golden on top.
Remove from the oven and let it cool for a couple of minutes before serving.
Serve the Maryland Crab Dip warm with crackers, bread, or fresh vegetables for dipping.
