Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Maine lobster meat (cooked and coarsely chopped)
- 8 ounces Cream cheese (softened)
- 0.5 cup Mayonnaise
- 0.25 cup Sour cream
- 1 cup Sharp cheddar cheese (shredded)
- 0.33 cup Parmesan cheese (grated)
- 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Hot sauce (optional, for heat)
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish)
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, mayonnaise, and sour cream. Stir until smooth and creamy.
Add the shredded cheddar cheese, grated Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, lemon juice, paprika, hot sauce (optional), salt, and pepper to the bowl. Mix well to combine.
Gently fold in the cooked and chopped Maine lobster meat, ensuring the lobster is evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
Transfer the mixture to an oven-safe dish or small casserole dish. Spread it out evenly with a spatula.
Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 20 minutes, or until the dip is bubbling and the top is lightly golden brown.
Once baked, carefully remove the dish from the oven and garnish the top with fresh chopped parsley.
Serve the warm dip immediately with sliced baguette, crackers, or fresh vegetable sticks. Enjoy!
