BAKED HOT CRAB DIP



Baked Hot Crab Dip image

The quality of the crab meat makes all the difference for the flavor. Some canned crab is really mushy, while others have big chunks of crab. If you're using canned crab that's watery, you should consider adding double the crab for more flavor. Even if you have a good crab meat that isn't watery, but love a prominent crab taste, add as much crab to the recipe as you'd like.

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.

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.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh crab meat: Fresh crab meat will give your dip the best flavor. If you can't find fresh crab meat, you can use frozen crab meat, but make sure to thaw it completely before using it.
  • Use a good quality cream cheese: The cream cheese is the base of the dip, so it's important to use a good quality brand. Look for a cream cheese that is smooth and spreadable.
  • Don't overcook the dip: The dip is done when it is heated through and bubbly. Overcooking the dip will make it tough and rubbery.
  • Serve the dip with your favorite dippers: The dip can be served with a variety of dippers, such as crackers, chips, vegetables, or bread.

Conclusion:

Baked crab dip is a delicious and easy appetizer that is perfect for any occasion. With its creamy texture, cheesy flavor, and succulent crab meat, it's sure to be a hit with everyone. So next time you're looking for an appetizer to make, give this baked crab dip a try. You won't be disappointed!
