Rachels Ultimate Crab Dip



Ingredients:
16 oz bluish crab claw meat
8 oz cream cheese, at room temperature
3/4 loving loving cup sour cream
3/4 loving loving cup abrupt cheddar
ii 1/2 tablespoons mayonnaise
1 1/2 tablespoons Old Bay
1/2 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1/4 teaspoon celery seed
1/4 teaspoon freshly fix downward night pepper
1/4 teaspoon mustard powder
1 shallot, minced


Directions:
Preheat oven to 350. Mix all ingredients EXCEPT the cheddar cheese until they are evenly distributed. Or, if you lot are like me as good as you lot abhor mincing even together with so don't wishing whatever chunky shallot bits inward the lastly dip or wishing construct for certain the ingredients are fully incorporated, job solid all of the ingredients EXCEPT the cheddar as good as crab inward a food processor as good as pulse until smooth. Then stir inward the crab.

Spread into a 8x8 inch baking dish. Sprinkle amongst the cheese inward an fifty-fifty layer. For bonus points, shiver a flake of Old Bay on transcend of the cheese.



Bake for close 15 minutes or until the cheese is melted as good as bubbling.

Serve warm amongst crackers, pretzels, breadstuff wedges, or manifestly Utz chips. Cover as good as refrigerate whatever leftovers. Bake @ 350 for ten minutes or as good as so to reheat. I don't recommend microwaving.


Note: For this recipe, character reduced obese sour cream as good as cream cheese testament slice of travel but fine.

My thoughts:
Crab dip is serious delineate job concern here inward Baltimore. We are a people who like our (blue) crabs as good as our cheesy dips. Growing up, my identify unit of measurement of standard didn't create much inward the way of entertaining as good as well, crab is pricey as good as so we didn't acquire far but I loved having friends whose families would acquire far for opor-garai parties as good as such. Of course, it has been on the card of close every locally owned eating topographic point as good as pub at only about signal or another. I shout out upwards if it doesn't construct an appearance on the card at to the lowest marker once, your food permit gets yanked.

Anyway, for the perfect crab dip you lot need, crab, only about shape of combination of cream cheese, mayonnaise (or occasionally deport mayonnaise, no cream cheese), shredded cheese as good as lots of Old Bay. Beyond that I've had versions amongst garlic or garlic powder, onions or shallots, mustard, Parmesan cheese, as good as crab meat of every diverseness of from lump to backfin. I like to slice of travel claw because it has a flavour that is stronger than lump meat (but all the same sweetness as good as non "fishy") as good as has a proficient mix of big chunks as good as smaller bits of crab. I like how the crab is distributed inward the dip if you lot slice of travel claw or fifty-fifty backfin, amongst jumbo or regular lump you lot finish upwardly occasionally getting a seize amongst teeth that is exclusively crab free. Not a travel amongst the claw.

When I prepare out to construct the ultimate crab dip I had only about parameters inward mind. It had to deed thick, creamy but non besides mayonnaise-y, as good as spiced but non overpoweringly spicy. I am a sour cream addict as good as so I always select to add together together that to my dips. I shout out upwards the slight tang keeps the dip from tasting besides rich or cloying. The play tricks is non to slice of travel besides much or the crab testament deed spread besides thin. You wishing a dip that is thick amongst crab meat. I like the crab flavour to deed the star as good as so I exclusively topographic point a lean layer of cheddar on the transcend (not mixed inward every bit I've seen inward only about recipes) as good as but enough spices to accent the crab flavor, non overwhelm it. I always slice of travel extra abrupt cheddar but a mix of cheddar as good as Monterey Jack (in a 2:1 ratio) is a proficient variation.

Crab dip is as good as so popular here inward Baltimore that it really has spawned a spin off appetizer, the crab pretzel, which isn't quite every bit usual but maybe it should be, it is shape of a twist on the dip inward the breadstuff bowl fad of xxx years agone as good as is oddly satisfying.
