Ingredients

Scale

Dip Ingredients

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon soy sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 8 oz lump crab meat, picked over for shells
  • 2 green onions, thinly sliced

For Serving

  • Wonton chips or crackers

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to prepare for baking the dip evenly.
  2. Mix Base Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, sour cream, mayonnaise, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, soy sauce, onion powder, and black pepper. Stir thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and well blended.
  3. Add Cheeses and Crab: Fold in the shredded mozzarella, grated Parmesan, lump crab meat, and thinly sliced green onions gently into the creamy base to distribute all ingredients evenly without breaking up the crab meat too much.
  4. Transfer to Baking Dish: Grease an 8×8-inch baking dish and transfer the mixture into it, smoothing the top to ensure even cooking and presentation.
  5. Bake the Dip: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the dip is bubbly and has a golden top, indicating it is heated through and ready to serve.
  6. Serve Warm: Remove from the oven and serve the Crab Rangoon Dip warm with wonton chips or crackers for dipping, perfect for parties and gatherings.

Notes

  • Ensure the crab meat is picked over carefully to remove all shells for a smooth eating experience.
  • Do not overmix the crab to keep nice lumps intact for texture.
  • If preferred, substitute mayo with Greek yogurt for a lighter dip.
  • Wonton chips add an authentic touch, but you can use pita chips or crackers as alternatives.
  • Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheat before serving.
