Ingredients
- 8 oz Cream cheese
- 8 oz Fresh crab meat
- 2 tbsp Mayonnaise
- 1 tbsp Lemon juice
- 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- 0.5 tsp Garlic powder
- 1 tsp Old Bay seasoning
- 2 stalks Green onions, finely chopped
- 1 cup Cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1 tbsp Fresh parsley, chopped
- 0 optional Crackers or vegetable sticks (for serving)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Step 2
In a mixing bowl, soften the cream cheese by setting it out at room temperature for about 10 minutes or microwaving for 10-15 seconds.
Step 3
Add the mayonnaise, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, and Old Bay seasoning to the softened cream cheese. Mix until well combined and smooth.
Step 4
Gently fold in the crab meat, green onions, and half of the shredded cheddar cheese (reserve the other half for topping). Be careful not to break up the crab meat too much.
Step 5
Transfer the mixture to an oven-safe baking dish and spread it evenly.
Step 6
Sprinkle the remaining shredded cheddar cheese over the top of the mixture.
Step 7
Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the top is golden and bubbly.
Step 8
Remove from the oven, sprinkle with fresh parsley for garnish, and allow to cool slightly.
Step 9
Serve warm with crackers or fresh vegetable sticks for dipping.
