Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 oz Cream cheese
- 1 cup Sour cream
- 0.5 cup Mayonnaise
- 2 tsp Old Bay seasoning
- 1 tbsp Lemon juice
- 1 tsp Hot sauce
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 tbsp Chopped chives
- 0.25 tsp Salt
- 0.25 tsp Freshly ground black pepper
- 1 cup Crab meat (optional, for variation)
Instructions
Allow the cream cheese to soften at room temperature for about 10-15 minutes so it’s easier to mix.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, sour cream, and mayonnaise. Mix well until smooth and creamy.
Add the Old Bay seasoning, lemon juice, hot sauce, salt, and black pepper to the mixture. Stir until evenly incorporated.
Fold in the shredded cheddar cheese and optional crab meat, if using, ensuring everything is evenly distributed.
Transfer the mixture to a serving bowl, and sprinkle chopped chives on top for garnish.
Cover and refrigerate the dip for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
When ready to serve, pair the dip with your choice of chips, crackers, baguette slices, or fresh vegetables. Enjoy!
