Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Lump crab meat
- 2 cups Fresh spinach (chopped)
- 1 cup Artichoke hearts (drained and chopped)
- 8 ounces Cream cheese (softened)
- 1 cup Sour cream
- 0.5 cup Mayonnaise
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese (grated)
- 0.5 cup Cheddar cheese (shredded)
- 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon Hot sauce
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 cup Mozzarella cheese (shredded, for topping)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a baking dish or oven-safe skillet.
In a large skillet, sauté the chopped spinach over medium heat for 2-3 minutes until wilted. Remove excess moisture by patting with a paper towel, then set spinach aside.
In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, sour cream, and mayonnaise until smooth and creamy.
Stir in the Parmesan cheese, cheddar cheese, minced garlic, lemon juice, hot sauce, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Gently fold in the spinach, artichoke hearts, and lump crab meat, ensuring everything is evenly distributed.
Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese on top for a golden, bubbly finish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the dip is hot and the top is lightly golden.
Remove from oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving.
Serve with tortilla chips, crackers, or slices of toasted baguette. Enjoy!
