Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 8 oz cream cheese (softened)
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tsp soy sauce
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup chopped green onions
- 6 oz lump crab meat (drained)
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- Pinch of salt
For Topping (Optional)
- 2 tbsp chopped green onions
- 1/4 cup additional shredded cheese
For Serving
- Wonton chips, crackers, sliced baguette, or fresh veggies
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to prepare for baking the dip.
- Mix Base Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, sour cream, mayonnaise, soy sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and a pinch of salt. Stir well until the mixture is smooth and thoroughly blended.
- Incorporate Cheese and Crab: Fold in the shredded mozzarella cheese, chopped green onions, and lump crab meat carefully to ensure even distribution without breaking up the crab too much.
- Prepare Baking Dish: Grease an 8×8-inch baking dish or a small oven-safe skillet lightly to prevent sticking. Transfer the crab mixture evenly into the prepared dish.
- Add Toppings: Sprinkle the additional shredded cheese evenly across the top of the mixture for a cheesy baked crust.
- Bake the Dip: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the dip is hot, bubbly, and the edges are lightly golden.
- Garnish: Remove from the oven and sprinkle with the remaining chopped green onions for a fresh flavor and attractive presentation.
- Serve Warm: Serve the Crab Rangoon Dip warm alongside wonton chips, crackers, sliced baguette, or fresh vegetables for dipping.
Notes
- For a more budget-friendly version, imitation crab meat can be used in place of lump crab meat.
- To make homemade wonton chips, cut wonton wrappers into triangles and either bake them in the oven or fry until golden and crispy.
- This dip can be prepared ahead of time and refrigerated; bake just before serving for best results.
