Description

A creamy, cheesy, and flavorful seafood dip made with lump crab meat, cream cheese, and Old Bay seasoning. Perfect for parties.


Ingredients

– 8 oz cream cheese, softened
– 1 cup sour cream
– 1/2 cup mayonnaise
– 1 tsp lemon juice
– 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
– 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
– 1/2 tsp Old Bay seasoning
– 1/4 tsp garlic powder
– 1/4 tsp black pepper
– 1 cup lump crab meat, drained and flaked
– 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
– 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
– 2 tbsp chopped green onions (optional, for garnish)


Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven – Set oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a small baking dish with cooking spray.
2. Prepare the Base – In a bowl, mix cream cheese, sour cream, mayonnaise, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, Old Bay seasoning, garlic powder, and black pepper until smooth.
3. Add Crab & Cheese – Gently fold in lump crab meat, shredded mozzarella, and cheddar cheese without breaking up the crab pieces too much.
4. Bake – Spread the mixture evenly into the prepared dish. Bake for 20-25 minutes, until the top is golden and bubbly.
5. Serve – Garnish with chopped green onions (optional) and serve warm with crackers, bread, or veggies.


Notes

– Use fresh lump crab meat for the best flavor.
– If the dip is too thick, add a tablespoon of milk to loosen it.
– For extra flavor, mix in a dash of hot sauce or extra Old Bay seasoning.
