Ingredients

Scale

Dip Base

8 oz cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup sour cream
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon soy sauce
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon onion powder

Cheese and Crab

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
8 oz lump crab meat (drained and picked over for shells)

Vegetables & Garnish

2 green onions, thinly sliced
Salt and pepper to taste
Chopped green onions for garnish

Serving

Wonton chips or crackers

Instructions

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to prepare for baking the dip.
Mix Creamy Base: In a medium bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, sour cream, mayonnaise, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, garlic powder, and onion powder. Stir thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and creamy with no lumps.
Add Cheese and Crab: Fold in the shredded mozzarella cheese, lump crab meat, and thinly sliced green onions gently to evenly distribute without breaking up the crab meat too much.
Season: Taste the mixture and season with salt and pepper according to your preference.
Transfer to Baking Dish: Spoon the crab mixture into a small baking dish and spread it out evenly for uniform cooking.
Bake: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until the dip is hot and bubbly, with the edges turning a light golden color.
Garnish and Serve: Remove from oven, sprinkle additional chopped green onions over the top for freshness and color. Serve immediately warm alongside wonton chips or crackers for dipping.

Notes

Ensure crab meat is picked over carefully to remove any shells for a pleasant eating experience.
For spicier dip, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or a dash of hot sauce to the creamy base.
Can be prepared a day ahead and refrigerated; bake just before serving.
Use fresh green onions for best flavor and garnish appearance.
Wonton chips lend an authentic crunch, but crackers or toasted baguette slices work well too.
