Description
A delicious and creamy crab dip, perfect for any gathering or as an appetizer.
Ingredients
Scale
- 8 ounces whipped cream cheese
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon hot sauce, (optional)
- 1 tablespoon Old Bay Seasoning
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 pound jumbo lump or lump crab meat
- 1/4 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
- 1/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- to taste fresh chopped parsley, (to garnish)
- to taste sliced and toasted baguette, (for dipping)
- to taste olive oil cooking spray
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350° F. Lightly grease a shallow baking dish with cooking spray. I like to use a pie dish.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the whipped cream cheese, mayonnaise, Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce, Old Bay, and lemon juice. Next, fold in the crab meat, half the Monterey Jack cheese, and half the mozzarella cheese with a rubber spatula. Be careful not to break up the crab meat!
- Transfer the mixture into your baking dish, and top the dip with the remaining shredded cheese.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes or until cheese is melted and dip is heated through.
- Garnish with parsley and serve with toasted baguette.
