• 9×9 Baking Dish
• 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
• ½ cup sour cream
• ¼ cup mayonnaise
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce- for that umami flavor
• 1 teaspoon salt
• ½ teaspoon black or white pepper
• Juice of ½ lemon-gives a nice zing
• 1 cup shredded sharp white cheddar cheese, divided- makes the dip so creamy. Shred it yourself, if you can!
• 12-ounce can lump crab meat, drained- this can be substituted for imitation crab
• Sweet Thai chili sauce, for drizzling
• Sliced green onions, for garnish

How To Make It

Preheat the oven
Preheat your oven to 350°F. Grease a 9×9-inch baking dish and set aside.

Mix the creamy base
In a large bowl, whisk the softened cream cheese until fluffy. Add the sour cream, mayonnaise, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, salt, pepper, and lemon juice.

Blend until smooth
Using an electric mixer, beat the mixture until completely smooth and well combined.

Add the crab and cheese
Gently fold in the drained crab meat and ½ cup of the shredded cheddar cheese.

Bake
Spread the mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle the remaining ½ cup cheese on top. Bake for 25 minutes, or until hot, bubbly, and lightly golden.

Finish and serve
Drizzle with sweet Thai chili sauce to taste and sprinkle with sliced green onions. Serve warm.
