BAKED CRAB DIP



Baked Crab Dip image

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.

BAKED CRAB DIP



Baked Crab Dip image

This crab dip is packed full of sweet lumps of crab and lots of fresh vegetables. The bread crumbs and veggies don't overpower the dish and let the crab meat shine. You can serve this at a very casual get-together or a more formal dinner. It was very good with the Ritz crackers but would make a delicious side too. It's very rich...

Provided by Michelle Hickey

Categories     Seafood Appetizers

Time 1h5m

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 1/2 stick butter
2 c celery - chopped
2 lb lump crab meat
2 c white onion - chopped
2 c bell pepper - chopped
1 can(s) cream of mushroom soup
2 c seasoned bread crumbs
1 bunch green onions - chopped
1/4 c fresh parsely - chopped

Steps:

  • 1. Saute onions, celery, and bell pepper in butter.

  • 6. Pour into 9x13 baking dish.

  • 8. *Hint - I serve this with Ritz crackers. I have also served this as a rich crab dressing (side dish). It is fantastic both ways.

Tips:

  • Use fresh crab meat: Fresh crab meat has a sweeter and more delicate flavor than canned or frozen crab meat. If you can't find fresh crab meat, you can use canned or frozen crab meat, but be sure to drain it well before using.
  • Shred the crab meat finely: This will help to ensure that the crab meat is evenly distributed throughout the dip.
  • Use a creamy cheese: A creamy cheese, such as cream cheese or sour cream, will help to make the dip smooth and rich. You can also use a combination of cheeses, such as cream cheese and cheddar cheese, or cream cheese and Parmesan cheese.
  • Add some flavorings: You can add a variety of flavorings to your crab dip, such as Old Bay seasoning, cayenne pepper, or garlic powder. You can also add some chopped fresh herbs, such as parsley or cilantro.
  • Bake the dip until it is bubbly and hot: This will help to ensure that the dip is cooked through and that the flavors have had a chance to meld together.
  • Serve the dip with crackers, bread, or vegetables: Crab dip is a versatile dish that can be served with a variety of accompaniments. Some popular choices include crackers, bread, or vegetables, such as carrots, celery, or cucumber.

Conclusion:

Baked crab dip is an easy and delicious appetizer or snack that is perfect for any occasion. It is made with fresh crab meat, creamy cheese, and a variety of flavorings. The dip is baked until it is bubbly and hot and is then served with crackers, bread, or vegetables. With its creamy texture, rich flavor, and versatility, baked crab dip is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
