Ingredients

Scale

  1. 1 (8 oz) package cream cheese, softened

  2. 1/2 cup sour cream

  3. 1/2 cup mayonnaise

  4. 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

  5. 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

  6. 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

  7. 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

  8. 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

  9. 1 teaspoon hot sauce (optional, depending on spice preference)

  10. 2 teaspoons Old Bay seasoning (or crab seasoning of your choice)

  11. 1 lb crab meat (preferably lump crab meat, drained and flaked)

  12. 1/4 cup green onions, finely chopped (for garnish)

  13. Salt and pepper, to taste

  14. Fresh parsley, chopped (optional for garnish)

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven:
    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

  • Mix the base ingredients:
    In a medium-sized bowl, mix together the softened cream cheese, sour cream, and mayonnaise until smooth and well combined.

  • Add the cheeses and seasonings:
    Stir in the shredded mozzarella, shredded cheddar, and grated Parmesan cheese. Add the Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce (if using), Old Bay seasoning, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Stir until everything is evenly combined.

  • Fold in the crab meat:
    Gently fold in the crab meat, being careful not to break it up too much. You want the crab to stay in larger chunks for texture and flavor.

  • Transfer to a baking dish:
    Transfer the mixture to a greased baking dish (an 8×8-inch dish works well).

  • Bake the dip:
    Bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until the dip is hot and bubbly, and the top is slightly golden brown.

 

  • Garnish and serve:
    Once out of the oven, garnish with chopped green onions and fresh parsley if desired. Serve immediately with crackers, toasted baguette slices, tortilla chips, or fresh vegetable sticks.

Notes

  • You can adjust the amount of hot sauce to your spice preference. For a mild dip, leave it out, or for extra heat, add more.

  • For an even richer flavor, try using crab claw meat for a slightly bolder taste.

  • This dip can also be made ahead of time. Just refrigerate it before baking, and bake when you’re ready to serve.

 

  • To add some extra crunch, top with additional shredded cheese and bake for an extra 5 minutes.
