Skinny Maryland Crab Dip Appetizer image

This is a skinnier version of classic Maryland crab dip. We tend to use crab dip as a condiment in Maryland, we put it on anything! Try using veggies instead of bread to dip to keep the calories down. This is a great way to use up those loose crab claws!

Time 40m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 (8 ounce) package Neufchatel cheese, softened
3 tablespoons low-fat milk
1 tablespoon light mayonnaise
2 slices onion, minced
½ stalk celery, finely chopped
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon yellow mustard
1 teaspoon seafood seasoning (such as Old Bay®), or to taste
½ cup shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
1 pinch seafood seasoning (such as Old Bay®)
8 ounces cooked crab claw meat, drained
2 sprigs fresh cilantro

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  • Place Neufchatel cheese in a saucepan over medium-low heat. Heat until cheese softens to a creamy consistency, 2 to 3 minutes. Add milk and mayonnaise, reduce heat to low, and stir until blended. Add onion, celery, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, and seafood seasoning; stir frequently until onion has softened slightly, 5 to 6 minutes.
  • Transfer cheese sauce into a ceramic or glass baking dish. Mix in all but a small handful of mozzarella cheese. Carefully fold crabmeat into the dip, making sure it's evenly distributed. Top with remaining mozzarella and sprinkle with additional seafood seasoning.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until bubbly, 15 to 20 minutes. Garnish with cilantro.
