Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
In a bowl, mix (or beat with a mixer!) the cream cheese, mayo and sour cream until creamy and combined. Add in the crabmeat, garlic, green onions, parsley, mustard, chives, lemon zest, pepper flakes and dill with a big pinch of salt and pepper. Stir in the grated gruyere and cheddar.
Spread the dip in a baking dish (like a 9-inch pie plate or square dish, or something similar!). Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, until it’s bubbling and hot! Top with fresh herbs or chives if you wish. Serve with the old bay crostini.
To make the crostini, slice the baguette into rounds. Spread each round with some softened butter and sprinkle old bay on top - as much or as little as you’d like. Place the round on a baking sheet. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until golden and crunchy. You can do this right before the dip or even as the dip cools a bit.
