Dip Ingredients
- 8 ounces cream cheese (softened)
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 8 ounces lump crab meat (drained and picked over)
- 2 green onions (sliced)
- Chopped parsley for garnish (optional)
To Serve
- Wonton chips or crackers
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to prepare for baking the dip.
- Mix Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, sour cream, mayonnaise, shredded mozzarella, grated Parmesan, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and well blended.
- Add Crab Meat: Gently fold in the lump crab meat and sliced green onions, being careful to maintain the chunky texture of the crab.
- Bake: Transfer the combined mixture into a small baking dish or oven-safe skillet, spreading it evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the dip is hot, bubbly, and has developed a golden top.
- Garnish and Serve: Once baked, garnish the dip with chopped parsley if desired. Serve warm alongside wonton chips or crackers for dipping.
Notes
- Make sure the cream cheese is softened to ensure easy mixing and a smooth texture.
- Drain and carefully pick over the crab meat to avoid any shells or cartilage.
- For an extra crispy top, you can broil the dip for 1-2 minutes after baking—watch closely to prevent burning.
- Wonton chips can be store-bought or homemade; they add a perfect crunch for dipping.
- This dip can be made a few hours ahead and refrigerated; just bake before serving.
