This recipe can be served hot or cold with a variety of different crackers or bread. It can be placed in a loaf of hollowed out sourdough bread; the bread can be used for dipping. Don't heat dip when in the bread; bread will become soggy. Heat the dip, and then fill bread.

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

Ingredients

2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 cup yellow onion, finely chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
½ teaspoon kosher salt
1 lb jumbo lump crabmeat
6 oz cream cheese, room temperature
3 tablespoons sour cream
3 tablespoons mayonnaise
1 tablespoon worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon hot sauce
2 teaspoons old bay seasoning, plus more for garnish
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese, divided
2 tablespoons fresh chives, thinly sliced, for garnish
carrot stick, for serving
celery stick, for serving
cracker, for serving
crostini, for serving

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 325˚F (160˚C).
Melt the butter in a medium pan over medium-low heat. Add the onion, garlic, and salt. Cook for 12-15 minutes, until the onions are caramelized. Remove from heat and transfer to a small bowl to cool completely.
Using a fine-mesh strainer, drain crab meat over a bowl.
In a medium bowl, combine the cream cheese, sour cream, mayonnaise, Worcestershire, hot sauce, Old Bay, and lemon juice. Using an electric mixer, beat together until well combined. With a flexible spatula, fold in the onion mixture, ¾ cup (75 grams) cheddar cheese, and the crab meat.
Transfer the dip to a 1-quart baking dish. Top evenly with the remaining cheddar cheese.
Bake for 20-25 minutes, until the mixture is just beginning to bubble around the edges and the cheese is melted.
Heat the broiler to low. Broil dip for 3 minutes, until the whole surface is bubbling and browned. Remove the dip from the oven. Let cool for at least 15 minutes, until set.
Garnish the dip with Old Bay and chives. Serve with carrot sticks, celery sticks, crackers, and crostini.
Enjoy!

Tips:

Use high-quality crab meat. Fresh or frozen crab meat works well, but avoid using canned crab meat, as it can be mushy and have an off-flavor.
Don't overcook the crab meat. Crab meat is delicate and can easily become tough and rubbery if overcooked. Cook it just until it is heated through, about 2-3 minutes.
Use a variety of cheeses. A combination of cheeses, such as cream cheese, cheddar cheese, and Parmesan cheese, creates a rich and flavorful dip.
Add some spice. A little bit of spice, such as cayenne pepper or Old Bay seasoning, can add a nice kick to the dip.
Serve the dip warm. Crab dip is best served warm, so make sure to heat it through before serving. You can also keep it warm in a slow cooker on the "warm" setting.

Conclusion:

Crab dip is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed as an appetizer, snack, or main course. With its creamy, cheesy texture and succulent crab meat, it is sure to be a hit at any party or gathering. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy recipe, give crab dip a try. You won't be disappointed!
