Categories     Crab

Time 35m

Yield 10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

8 ounces cream cheese, softened
4 tablespoons olive oil
1/4 cup mayonnaise
6 1/2 ounces crabmeat, drained and minced
6 1/2 ounces clams, drained and minced

Steps:

  • In a saucepan over low heat combine all ingredients. Stir occasionally for about 30 min until warmed thoroughly. Serve with sliced veggies for an interesting dip.

Tips:

  • Use fresh clams for the best flavor. Frozen clams can be used in a pinch, but they will not have the same briny flavor as fresh clams.
  • Chop the clams finely. This will help them distribute evenly throughout the dip.
  • Use a good quality cream cheese. This is the base of the dip, so it is important to use a cream cheese that is smooth and flavorful.
  • Don't overmix the dip. Overmixing will make the dip too thick and pasty.
  • Chill the dip for at least 30 minutes before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld and the dip to firm up.
  • Serve the dip with crackers, bread, or vegetables.

Conclusion:

Creamy clam dip is a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer that is perfect for any occasion. It is made with fresh clams, cream cheese, sour cream, mayonnaise, and seasonings. The dip is creamy, flavorful, and packed with briny clam flavor. It is sure to be a hit with your guests!
