Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 ounces Imitation crab meat
- 8 ounces Cream cheese (softened)
- 0.5 cups Mayonnaise
- 0.5 cups Sour cream
- 1 cups Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 0.5 cups Grated Parmesan cheese
- 3 stalks Green onions (thinly sliced)
- 1 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoons Old Bay seasoning
- 0.5 teaspoons Garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoons Paprika (for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a small baking dish or oven-safe skillet.
Roughly chop the imitation crab meat into small, bite-sized pieces and set aside.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, mayonnaise, sour cream, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, Old Bay seasoning, garlic powder, and black pepper. Stir until smooth and well combined.
Fold in the chopped imitation crab meat, shredded mozzarella cheese, grated Parmesan cheese, and half of the sliced green onions. Mix gently to ensure the ingredients are evenly distributed.
Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly. Sprinkle a light dusting of paprika over the top for garnish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the dip is bubbling around the edges and slightly golden on top.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool for 5 minutes. Garnish with the remaining green onions before serving.
Serve warm with an assortment of crackers, toasted bread slices, or fresh vegetable sticks for dipping.
