Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 16 oz fresh lump crab meat
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1.5 cups mayonnaise
- 0.5 cups grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 cups sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
- 2 tsp Old Bay seasoning
- 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tsp hot sauce (such as Tabasco)
- 2 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 3 stalks green onions, finely chopped
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
- 0.5 cups breadcrumbs
- 2 tbsp butter, melted
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a medium-sized baking dish with butter or cooking spray.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, mayonnaise, Parmesan cheese, and 3/4 cup of shredded sharp cheddar cheese. Mix until smooth and well-blended.
Add the Old Bay seasoning, Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce, minced garlic, and lemon juice to the mixture. Stir well to incorporate.
Gently fold in the lump crab meat, being cautious not to break up the delicate pieces. Ensure the crab is evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
Add the chopped green onions and parsley, stirring them gently into the mix.
Transfer the crab mixture into the prepared baking dish, smoothing it out evenly.
In a small bowl, combine the breadcrumbs with the melted butter, stirring until the crumbs are evenly coated.
Sprinkle the buttered breadcrumbs over the top of the crab mixture, followed by the remaining 1/4 cup of shredded cheddar cheese.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden and bubbly.
Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes. Garnish with additional parsley and a sprinkle of Old Bay seasoning if desired.
Serve warm with toasted baguette slices, crackers, or fresh vegetable sticks. Enjoy your taste of Maryland’s coastal delights!
