Instructions
Step 1: Preheat the Oven
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Step 2: Prepare the Dip Mixture
- In a large mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese, sour cream, and mayonnaise. Beat until smooth and creamy.
- Add garlic powder, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, and shredded mozzarella cheese. Mix until well combined.
- Gently fold in the crab meat and green onions, ensuring they’re evenly distributed.
Step 3: Assemble the Dip
- Spread the mixture evenly into a greased baking dish.
- (Optional) In a small bowl, combine panko breadcrumbs and melted butter. Sprinkle over the top of the dip for a crispy, golden finish.
Step 4: Bake the Dip
- Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the dip is bubbly and lightly golden on top.
- Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes before serving.
Notes
- Quality Crab: Use lump crab meat for the best flavor and texture. Imitation crab works as a budget-friendly alternative.
- Make Ahead: Assemble the dip up to a day in advance, cover, and refrigerate. Bake just before serving.
- Extra Creaminess: For an even creamier dip, add ¼ cup heavy cream to the mixture.
