Ingredients
  

  • 8 ounces cream cheese softened, full fat
  • ½ cup mayonnaise
  • ¼ cup sour cream
  • ½ lemon juiced, fresh
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • ¼ cup shredded Parmesan cheese
  • 1 clove garlic finely minced
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 cans crab meat 6 ounces each, drained well. Imitation crab works, chopped small
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese divided
  • ½ cup Thai sweet chili sauce to top
  • 2 tablespoons fresh chives or green onions chopped
  • fried wontons or crostini for serving

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F.
  2. In a large bowl, mix the softened cream cheese, mayonnaise, sour cream, soy sauce, lemon juice, garlic, black pepper and Parmesan cheese until smooth.
    8 ounces cream cheese, ½ cup mayonnaise, ¼ cup sour cream, ½ lemon, ¼ cup shredded Parmesan cheese, 1 clove garlic, ½ teaspoon black pepper, 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  3. Drain the crab well and fold it into the cream cheese mixture. Mix until just combined, do not over mix.
    2 cans crab meat
  4. Spread everything into a baking dish in an even layer and top with the mozzarella cheese.
    1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  5. Bake at 375°F for 45 minutes, until the top is golden and the edges are bubbling.
  6. Top with sweet chili sauce on top and finely chopped chives.
    ½ cup Thai sweet chili sauce
  7. Serve hot with crostini, crackers, or fried wonton chips.
    2 tablespoons fresh chives or green onions, fried wontons or crostini

Notes

  • Drain the crab hard, pressing it in a sieve, or the dip turns watery.
  • Do not over mix once the crab goes in or it disappears into the base.
  • Assemble up to 1 day ahead, refrigerate, and bake before serving, adding 5 minutes if it goes in fridge cold. Leftovers keep 3 days in the fridge. Freezing is not recommended, the dairy splits and the texture turns grainy.
  • For wonton chips, cut wrappers on the diagonal and fry 15 to 20 seconds per batch, or air fry at 350°F for 5 to 6 minutes. Tip: just buy them at the store and get crackers to make your life easier
