Ingredients
Scale
- 8 oz (225 g) cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup (120 ml) sour cream
- 1/4 cup (60 ml) mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 2 teaspoons lemon juice
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon sugar (optional)
- 8 oz (225 g) lump crab meat, chopped
- 1/4 cup (30 g) green onions, thinly sliced
- 1/2 cup (50 g) shredded mozzarella or Monterey Jack cheese
- 2 tablespoons chopped green onions (optional, for garnish)
- 12 wonton wrappers, cut diagonally into triangles
- Cooking spray or oil
- Salt, to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Stir in the sour cream, mayonnaise, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, lemon juice, garlic, and sugar.
- Gently fold in the crab meat and green onions. Mix until combined.
- Transfer the mixture to an oven-safe dish or skillet. Spread it evenly, then top with the shredded cheese.
- Bake the dip in the preheated oven for 20–25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbling.
- While the dip is baking, arrange the wonton triangles on a baking sheet in a single layer. Lightly spray with cooking spray and sprinkle with salt.
- Bake for 5–7 minutes, or until golden and crisp. Watch closely to prevent burning.
- Remove the dip from the oven and let it cool slightly. Garnish with chopped green onions if desired.
- Serve warm with the wonton chips or other dippers like crackers or fresh veggies.
Notes
- Make-ahead option: Assemble the dip (without the cheese topping) and refrigerate for up to 24 hours. Add the cheese and bake when ready to serve.
- Seafood alternatives: Swap crab meat for cooked shrimp if preferred.
- Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave.
