Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 oz cream cheese
- 0.25 cup mayonnaise
- 0.25 cup sour cream
- 1 tsp Old Bay seasoning
- 0.5 tsp garlic powder
- 0.5 tsp hot sauce (optional)
- 8 oz lump crab meat
- 0.5 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 tbsp green onions (sliced)
- crackers or sliced baguette (for serving)
Instructions
In a medium microwave-safe bowl, combine the cream cheese, mayonnaise, and sour cream. Microwave on high for 30 seconds to soften the cream cheese slightly.
Stir in the Old Bay seasoning, garlic powder, and optional hot sauce until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
Gently fold in the lump crab meat, being careful not to break it up too much.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top of the mixture.
Microwave the dip on high for 2-3 minutes, or until heated through and the cheese on top is melted.
Remove from the microwave and garnish with sliced green onions.
Serve warm with crackers or slices of baguette on the side.
