Ingredients

- 0.33 cup sour cream
- 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 0.33 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1.5 tsp Old Bay seasoning
- 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
- 2 cloves garlic, minced

Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, mayonnaise, and sour cream. Stir until smooth and creamy.
Step 3
Add the shredded cheddar cheese, Parmesan cheese, Old Bay seasoning, Worcestershire sauce, lemon juice, garlic, and hot sauce (if using). Mix well to incorporate all the ingredients.
Step 4
Gently fold in the lump crab meat, being careful not to break up the crab pieces too much. Ensure the crab is evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
Step 5
Transfer the mixture to a lightly greased baking dish or an oven-safe skillet. Spread it out evenly.
Step 6
Bake in the preheated oven for 20–25 minutes, or until the dip is hot and bubbly and the top is lightly golden.

Remove the dish from the oven and sprinkle the top with chopped parsley and sliced scallions for a fresh touch.
Step 8
Serve hot with baguette slices, crackers, or fresh vegetable sticks. Enjoy!
