An easy recipe that allows the sweet taste of the crab to shine.
Classic Centre Bay Hot Crab Dip
A favourite appetizer for your next dock party
Equipment
- Toaster Oven or BBQ
Ingredients
- 16 ounces Fresh, shelled Centre Bay Dungeness Crab (approximately 2 crabs)
- 1 package Softened Cream Cheese
- 2 teaspoon Lemon Juice
- 2 teaspoon Worcestershire Sauce
- 1 cup Mayonnaise
- 1 cup Parmesan Cheese
- 1 teaspoon Black Pepper
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F or 190°C
- In a bowl, combine the cream cheese, lemon juice, worcestershire, mayonnaise, parmesan cheese, and pepper
- Separate the large intact crab pieces from the broken up pieces
- Combine the smaller broken pieces with the cheese mixture and mix well
- Gently fold in the large intact crab pieces until combined
- Add the crab dip mixture into a medium casserole or baking dish
- Bake for about 35-45 minutes or until the top is golden brown
- Some boaters use garlic, diced onion or green onion but I find it takes away from the sweet taste of the crab
- Serve with your favorite chips, crackers, bread or vegetables
