Instructions
- Merge cream cheese, sour cream, mayonnaise, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, and sugar in a large mixing bowl, whisking until achieving a velvety, uniform consistency.
- Delicately incorporate fresh crab meat and chopped green onions into the creamy mixture, ensuring even distribution without breaking the crab pieces.
- Transfer the mixture into a baking dish, spreading it smoothly and creating an even layer across the surface.
- Generously scatter shredded mozzarella and cheddar cheese over the top, covering the entire dip with a blanket of cheese.
- Position the baking dish in a preheated 350°F (175°C) oven, allowing the dip to bake for 20-25 minutes until the cheese transforms into a golden, bubbling landscape.
- Remove from the oven and let it rest for 2-3 minutes to stabilize the temperature and texture.
- Serve immediately alongside crispy wonton chips or crackers, ensuring guests can scoop up the warm, decadent dip while it’s at its peak flavor and temperature.
Notes
- Swap out regular cream cheese for a lighter, low-fat version to reduce overall calories without sacrificing flavor.
- Opt for fresh crab meat instead of canned for a more delicate, authentic seafood taste that elevates the entire dish.
- Consider adding a dash of sriracha or chili sauce to introduce a subtle kick for those who enjoy a spicier appetizer.
- Prepare the dip ahead of time and refrigerate for up to 24 hours before baking to allow flavors to meld together more intensely.
