Ingredients

• 8 ounces cream cheese
• 0.5 cups mayonnaise
• 0.5 cups sour cream
• 0.5 teaspoons garlic powder
• 1 teaspoons Old Bay seasoning
• 1 tablespoons lemon juice
• 1 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
• 0.5 cups grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
• 8 ounces crabmeat or cooked shrimp (chopped)
• 2 stalks green onions (chopped)
• 0.25 cups bread crumbs (optional)
• 1 tablespoon butter (melted, optional for topping)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

In a medium mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, mayonnaise, sour cream, garlic powder, Old Bay seasoning, lemon juice, and Worcestershire sauce. Mix well until smooth and creamy.

Step 3

Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese, half of the shredded mozzarella cheese, and the chopped green onions.

Step 4

Gently fold in the crabmeat or shrimp, making sure to distribute it evenly throughout the mixture.

Step 5

Transfer the dip mixture into an oven-safe baking dish, spreading it out evenly.

Step 6

Sprinkle the remaining shredded mozzarella cheese on top. If using breadcrumbs, mix them with the melted butter and sprinkle the mixture over the cheese layer for added texture.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the dip is bubbling around the edges.

Step 8

Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.

Step 9

Serve hot with crackers, sliced baguette, or fresh vegetables for dipping.
