Ingredients

• 8 ounces Cream cheese
• 0.25 cup Mayonnaise
• 0.25 cup Sour cream
• 0.5 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese
• 0.25 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 tablespoon Fresh lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning
• 1 teaspoon Minced garlic
• 0.5 teaspoon Hot sauce
• 1 tablespoon Chopped parsley (optional, for garnish)
• 1 assortment to taste Crackers, bread, or vegetable sticks (for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

In a medium mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, mayonnaise, sour cream, lemon juice, and Worcestershire sauce. Mix until smooth and well combined.

Step 3

Add in the minced garlic, Old Bay seasoning, hot sauce, Parmesan cheese, and shredded mozzarella cheese. Mix thoroughly.

Step 4

Gently fold in the lump crab meat to avoid breaking up the crab too much. Ensure the mixture is evenly distributed.

Step 5

Transfer the crab mixture into a small, oven-safe baking dish. Spread it into an even layer.

Step 6

Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the dip is heated through and lightly golden on top.

Step 7

Remove the dish from the oven and let it cool slightly. Garnish with chopped parsley if desired.

Step 8

Serve warm with crackers, slices of bread, or vegetable sticks for dipping. Enjoy!
