Equipment

  • Large Mixing Bowl
  • Small Baking Dish
  • Cheese grater
  • Silicone Spatula
  • Large Spoon

Ingredients

  • 8 oz Cream cheese plain, softened
  • ½ cup Sour cream or creme fraiche
  • 2 tablespoon Soy sauce or Tamari
  • ½ teaspoon Garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon Kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon Black pepper cracked
  • ½ cup Lump crab meat shredded
  • 1 cup Mozzarella cheese shredded
  • Wonton chips or crackers for serving
  • Sweet chili sauce for serving, optional

Instructions

  • In a mixing bowl, combine cream cheese, sour cream, soy sauce, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until smooth.
  • Add the shredded and drained (if canned) crab meat, the green onions, and about ¾ cup of the shredded cheese.
  • Mix until well combined.
  • Transfer the dip to a baking dish and add the remaining shredded cheese to the top. Bake in the oven until hot and bubbly, about 15 minutes.
  • Serve the dip with wonton chips, crackers, or fresh veggies for dipping.

Notes

  • If you can, shred the cheese fresh from the block rather than buying pre-shredded cheese. Trust me, it melts much nicer! The gooier and more stringy the melted cheese is, the better.
  • Let your creativity shine with the garnishes. Sliced green onions and a drizzle of sweet chili sauce are both classic, but you could also add a pinch of red chili flakes, fresh chives, or lemon zest.
  • Serve hot crab dip with a side of wonton chips to make it feel just like the classic appetizer. You can also include tortilla chips, crackers, celery sticks, and cucumber slices for more variety.
