Hot Baked Crab Dip
Description
This Hot Baked Crab Dip combines smooth cream cheese with lump crab meat that’s been carefully drained to avoid excess moisture. Grated onion adds mild sharpness, while prepared horseradish and Worcestershire sauce provide subtle heat and umami complexity. Salt and pepper balance the seasoning. The mixture is stirred until uniform and placed in an ovenproof dish.
Baking at 375 degrees Fahrenheit for 15 minutes heats the dip through without separating the cream cheese, allowing the flavors to meld. Once out of the oven, it’s garnished with chopped green onions for a fresh, crisp contrast. The warm dip is typically served with crackers, making it suitable as a party appetizer or snack.
Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to three days and reheated in a microwave, though freezing is not advised due to the cream cheese base. The recipe can be prepared a day in advance and baked just before serving to save time.
