BAKED CRAB DIP

Baked Crab Dip image

We enjoyed this exquisite crab dip at my grandson's wedding reception. It looks fancy but is easy to make. You can even fill the bread bowl early in the day and chill it until serving. Just remove it from the refrigerator 30 minutes before baking. -Marie Shelley, Exeter, Missouri

BAKED CRAB DIP WITH OLD BAY AND RITZ CRACKERS

Baked Crab Dip With Old Bay and Ritz Crackers image

This crab dip is inspired by a recipe called "ritzy dip" from the "Three Rivers Cookbook," a Pittsburgh community cookbook published in 1973, in which canned crab is mixed with cream cheese, topped with Ritz crackers and baked. Fresh lump crab meat is the star in this updated version, with lemon juice, scallions and plenty of Old Bay seasoning to spice things up. This recipe doubles easily for larger groups, and the whole thing can be assembled and refrigerated up to a day in advance before being baked.

Ingredients

Unsalted butter, for greasing the baking dish
8 ounces fresh lump or jumbo lump crab meat
4 ounces cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup grated Parmesan
3 tablespoons mayonnaise
1/2 teaspoon fresh lemon zest plus 2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 scallion, trimmed and minced, plus more for serving
3/4 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning, plus more for serving
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 cup crushed Ritz crackers (from about 7 crackers), plus more whole crackers for serving
Sliced English cucumbers and other crackers, for serving

Steps:

Heat the oven to 375 degrees and grease a shallow, 2-cup capacity baking dish or ovenproof skillet with butter.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the crab meat, cream cheese, 1/4 cup Parmesan, mayonnaise, lemon zest and juice, scallion, Old Bay and salt; mix with a fork until thoroughly combined. Scrape the mixture into the prepared baking dish and smooth into an even layer.
