Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F.
- Melt the butter in a large saucepan over medium heat.
- Add the diced onion, bell pepper and garlic. Season with salt.
- Cook for 5-7 minutes, or until translucent and softened.
- Add the garlic. Stir it into the other veggies, and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
- Lower heat to low.
- Add the crawfish tails and the crawfish fat (the liquid in the packaging.) Stir until combined.
- Measure in the cream cheese and parmesan, stirring until both have melted.
- Transfer the dip to the prepared casserole dish, and top with panko.
- Bake until golden brown and bubbly, about 10-15 minutes.
- Garnish with chopped green onion.
- Serve warm with your favorite dippers and enjoy.
Notes
- Do not discard the liquid from the crawfish packaging, as that is the crawfish fat and important for flavor.
- This dip can be served without the panko and baking, though we really like the extra crunch this gives the final dish.
- How to store: Store leftovers in an airtight food storage container for 3-4 days. Reheat in the microwave in 30-second bursts until warmed through.
- How to make ahead of time: Make the dip up until the point where it bakes. Transfer the dip into the casserole dish, and cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for up to 2 days. Before serving, top with panko and then bake until golden brown and gooey.
