Ingredients

• 1 pound Lump crab meat
• 8 ounces Cream cheese, softened
• 1 cup Mayonnaise
• 0.5 cup Sour cream
• 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
• 0.5 cup Sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 tablespoon Fresh lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon Hot sauce (optional, for heat)
• 1 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning
• 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley, chopped (plus more for garnish)
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.25 cup Panko breadcrumbs (optional, for topping)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a small baking dish or a cast-iron skillet and set it aside.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, mayonnaise, and sour cream. Stir until smooth and well blended.

Step 3

Add the Parmesan cheese, cheddar cheese, minced garlic, Worcestershire sauce, lemon juice, hot sauce (if using), Old Bay seasoning, parsley, salt, and pepper to the mixture. Stir until fully combined.

Step 4

Gently fold in the lump crab meat, being careful not to break it apart too much. Mix until the crab is evenly distributed throughout the mixture.

Step 5

Transfer the crab mixture to the prepared baking dish or skillet, spreading it out evenly.

Step 6

Sprinkle the optional Panko breadcrumbs on top for a crispy topping, if desired.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 20–25 minutes, or until the dip is hot and bubbling. If you want the top to brown slightly, switch to broil mode for the last 1–2 minutes of cooking.

Step 8

Remove the dip from the oven and let it cool slightly. Garnish with additional chopped parsley for a fresh pop of color.

Step 9

Serve warm with crackers, toasted baguette slices, or fresh vegetables. Enjoy!
