BAKED HOT CRAB DIP

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.

Tips

  • Opt for fresh crab meat for the best flavor and texture. If using frozen crab meat, thaw it properly before using.
  • Use a high-quality cream cheese for a smooth and creamy dip. Soften the cream cheese to room temperature before mixing to ensure it blends well.
  • Shred your own cheese for a more flavorful and customizable dip. Pre-shredded cheese often contains additives that can affect the taste and texture of the dip.
  • Use a combination of cheeses for a more complex flavor. Cheddar, Parmesan, and Gruyère are all great options.
  • Add some chopped green onions or chives for a pop of freshness and color.
  • Season the dip to taste with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. You can also add a pinch of cayenne pepper for a bit of heat.
  • Serve the dip warm with crackers, bread, or vegetables for dipping.
