Ingredients

• 12 ounces Imitation crab meat
• 8 ounces Cream cheese (softened)
• 0.5 cups Mayonnaise
• 0.5 cups Sour cream
• 1 cups Shredded mozzarella cheese
• 0.5 cups Grated Parmesan cheese
• 3 stalks Green onions (thinly sliced)
• 1 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 1 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
• 1 teaspoons Old Bay seasoning
• 0.5 teaspoons Garlic powder
• 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoons Paprika (for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a small baking dish or oven-safe skillet.

Step 2

Roughly chop the imitation crab meat into small, bite-sized pieces and set aside.

Step 3

In a medium mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, mayonnaise, sour cream, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, Old Bay seasoning, garlic powder, and black pepper. Stir until smooth and well combined.

Step 4

Fold in the chopped imitation crab meat, shredded mozzarella cheese, grated Parmesan cheese, and half of the sliced green onions. Mix gently to ensure the ingredients are evenly distributed.

Step 5

Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly. Sprinkle a light dusting of paprika over the top for garnish.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the dip is bubbling around the edges and slightly golden on top.

Step 7

Remove from the oven and allow to cool for 5 minutes. Garnish with the remaining green onions before serving.

Step 8

Serve warm with an assortment of crackers, toasted bread slices, or fresh vegetable sticks for dipping.
