Ingredients
Scale
- 16 oz cream cheese, softened (creamy base)
- 12 oz crab meat, drained and flaked (use imitation crab or fresh crab)
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (adds gooey, melty goodness)
- ½ cup sour cream (for tanginess and creaminess)
- ¼ cup mayonnaise (adds richness)
- 2 green onions, thinly sliced (for a fresh, oniony bite)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder (for savory depth)
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce (adds umami flavor)
- Wonton chips or crackers (for serving)
Instructions
Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Combine Ingredients:
- In a large bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, flaked crab meat, shredded mozzarella, sour cream, mayonnaise, sliced green onions, garlic powder, and Worcestershire sauce.
- Mix until everything is well combined and smooth.
Transfer to Baking Dish:
- Spread the mixture evenly into a baking dish (an 8×8-inch or similar size works well).
Bake:
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the dip is hot, bubbly, and lightly golden on top.
Serve:
- Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly.
- Serve warm with wonton chips, crackers, or your favorite dippers.
Notes
- For a smoother texture, use a hand mixer to blend the ingredients.
- If you don’t have wonton chips, tortilla chips or pita chips work well too.
- Always taste and adjust the seasoning before baking.
