BAKED CRAB DIP WITH OLD BAY AND RITZ CRACKERS
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.

Steps:
- Heat the oven to 375 degrees and grease a shallow, 2-cup capacity baking dish or ovenproof skillet with butter.
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine the crab meat, cream cheese, 1/4 cup Parmesan, mayonnaise, lemon zest and juice, scallion, Old Bay and salt; mix with a fork until thoroughly combined. Scrape the mixture into the prepared baking dish and smooth into an even layer.
- In a small bowl, combine the remaining 1/4 cup Parmesan and the crushed Ritz crackers; sprinkle the mixture evenly over the dip.
- Bake for about 25 minutes, or until bubbling and golden brown on top. Dust lightly with Old Bay, sprinkle with a few minced scallions, and serve hot with sliced cucumbers and crackers.
Tips:
- Use high-quality crabmeat. Fresh or frozen lump crabmeat is the best choice for this recipe. Avoid using canned crabmeat, as it is often lower quality and saltier.
- Use full-fat cream cheese. Low-fat or non-fat cream cheese will not provide the same rich flavor and texture.
- Season the cream cheese mixture well. Use a combination of salt, pepper, lemon juice, and Old Bay seasoning to taste.
- Chill the log before serving. This will help it to firm up and make it easier to slice.
- Garnish the log with chopped chives or parsley before serving. This will add a pop of color and flavor.
Conclusion:
Crabmeat cream cheese log is a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer that is perfect for any occasion. It is made with just a few simple ingredients and can be prepared in advance, making it a great option for parties or potlucks. Serve it with your favorite crackers, vegetables, or bread for a satisfying snack or appetizer.
