Cheesy Crab Rangoon Dip (Hot Crab Dip)
Description
This Cheesy Crab Rangoon Dip combines cream cheese and mayonnaise with sour cream and lemon juice to form a creamy base. Fresh crab meat brings a delicate seafood flavor, complemented by Parmesan and mozzarella cheeses, which give the dip a melty, cheesy consistency. The mixture is seasoned lightly with Worcestershire sauce, chives, garlic, and black pepper for depth without overpowering the crab's flavor.
Baking the dip until hot and bubbly intensifies the cheese melt and warmth, making it inviting for dipping. The suggested garnishes—fresh chives and crushed crispy wonton strips—add color, a hint of onion flavor, and textural contrast. This dip pairs well with crackers, bread, or vegetable sticks and serves as a cozy, indulgent appetizer or party dish.
