We enjoyed this exquisite crab dip at my grandson's wedding reception. It looks fancy but is easy to make. You can even fill the bread bowl early in the day and chill it until serving. Just remove it from the refrigerator 30 minutes before baking. -Marie Shelley, Exeter, Missouri

BAKED CRAB DIP WITH OLD BAY AND RITZ CRACKERS



Baked Crab Dip With Old Bay and Ritz Crackers image

This crab dip is inspired by a recipe called "ritzy dip" from the "Three Rivers Cookbook," a Pittsburgh community cookbook published in 1973, in which canned crab is mixed with cream cheese, topped with Ritz crackers and baked. Fresh lump crab meat is the star in this updated version, with lemon juice, scallions and plenty of Old Bay seasoning to spice things up. This recipe doubles easily for larger groups, and the whole thing can be assembled and refrigerated up to a day in advance before being baked.

BAKED CRAB DIP

Fresh crab meat is so rich, fabulous, and sweet that, for this dip, I wanted to highlight the texture and flavor of the crab without masking it. Served bubbly hot with a crisply browned, lemon zest–panko topping, this dip will be a party favorite-easy to put together, quick to bake, and quick to disappear, too.

Categories     Crab

Time 25m

Yield 2 cups, 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 ounces cream cheese
1 tablespoon mayonnaise
1/4 cup sour cream
1 tablespoon butter, softened
1/4 teaspoon seasoning salt
1/8 teaspoon paprika
4 teaspoons onions, minced
4 teaspoons green peppers, minced
1/4 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
1 (6 ounce) can crabmeat

Steps:

  • Mix cream cheese, mayo, sour cream, and butter until smooth.
  • Blend in salt and paprika.
  • Stir in onion, green pepper, cheese, and crab meat.
  • Bake at 350F for 10-15 minutes, until bubbly.

Tips:

  • Use fresh crab meat. Fresh crab meat has a sweeter, more delicate flavor than canned or frozen crab meat. If you can't find fresh crab meat, you can use frozen crab meat that has been thawed in the refrigerator overnight.
  • Don't overcook the crab meat. Crab meat is delicate and cooks quickly. Overcooking will make it tough and rubbery.
  • Use a good quality cheese. The cheese is one of the main ingredients in crab dip, so it's important to use a good quality cheese that melts well. A sharp cheddar cheese or a Gruyère cheese are both good choices.
  • Add some flavor enhancers. A little bit of onion, garlic, or diced pepper can add a lot of flavor to crab dip. You can also add a splash of white wine or lemon juice for a bit of acidity.
  • Serve the crab dip warm. Crab dip is best served warm, so make sure to heat it through before serving. You can serve it with crackers, bread, or vegetables.

Conclusion:

Crab dip is a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer that is perfect for any occasion. It's a great way to use up leftover crab meat, and it's always a hit with guests. With so many different recipes to choose from, you're sure to find one that you love. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy appetizer, try making crab dip. You won't be disappointed!
