8 oz cream cheese
0.25 cup mayonnaise

0.5 cup shredded cheddar cheese
2 tbsp green onions (sliced)
0 crackers or sliced baguette (for serving)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium microwave-safe bowl, combine the cream cheese, mayonnaise, and sour cream. Microwave on high for 30 seconds to soften the cream cheese slightly.

Step 2

Stir in the Old Bay seasoning, garlic powder, and optional hot sauce until the mixture is smooth and well combined.

Step 3

Gently fold in the lump crab meat, being careful not to break it up too much.

Step 4

Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top of the mixture.

Step 5

Microwave the dip on high for 2-3 minutes, or until heated through and the cheese on top is melted.

Step 6

Remove from the microwave and garnish with sliced green onions.

Step 7

Serve warm with crackers or slices of baguette on the side.
