Ingredients
- 1 lb Lump crab meat
- 8 oz Cream cheese
- 0.5 cup Mayonnaise
- 0.25 cup Sour cream
- 1 cup Sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 0.25 cup Green onions, sliced
- 0.25 cup Fresh parsley, chopped
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced

Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a baking dish or oven-safe skillet.
In a large mixing bowl, combine cream cheese, mayonnaise, sour cream, sharp cheddar cheese, Parmesan cheese, green onions, parsley, garlic, Creole seasoning, cayenne pepper, lemon juice, and hot sauce.
Gently fold in the lump crab meat, being careful not to break it apart too much.
Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly.
In a small bowl, mix the panko breadcrumbs with melted butter until evenly coated. Sprinkle this mixture over the top of the crab dip.
Bake the dip in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the top is golden brown and the dip is bubbling around the edges.
Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve warm with crackers, baguette slices, or fresh vegetable sticks, and enjoy!
