Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 oz Cream cheese
- 1 cup Mayonnaise
- 0.5 cup Sour cream
- 1 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 14 oz Canned artichoke hearts, drained and chopped
- 8 oz Lump crab meat
- 2 cloves Minced garlic
- 1 tbsp Fresh lemon juice
- 0.5 tsp Hot sauce (optional)
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 0.25 tsp Ground black pepper
- 2 tbsp Chopped parsley (for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a medium-sized baking dish with non-stick cooking spray or a light layer of butter.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese with a hand or stand mixer until smooth and fluffy.
Add mayonnaise, sour cream, grated Parmesan, and shredded mozzarella to the bowl. Mix well until all ingredients are fully incorporated.
Fold in the chopped artichoke hearts, lump crab meat, minced garlic, lemon juice, hot sauce (if using), salt, and ground black pepper. Stir gently to ensure everything is evenly distributed without breaking up the crab meat too much.
Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20–25 minutes, or until the top is golden and bubbly.
Remove from the oven and let it sit for 5 minutes to cool slightly before serving.
Garnish with chopped parsley and serve warm with crackers, sliced baguette, or fresh vegetables for dipping.
