Description

This Maritime Crab Dip is a luxurious appetizer that balances rich, creamy textures with the sweet, delicate flavor of crab. The base combines softened cream cheese, mayonnaise, and zesty chili sauce for a smooth, tangy foundation. Fresh parsley and Dijon mustard add brightness and depth, while the addition of green onion provides a sharp aromatic note. Topped with buttery, golden breadcrumbs, this dip bakes to perfection, creating a delightful contrast between the crisp crust and the warm, creamy interior. It is an elegant yet comforting choice for potlucks, holiday gatherings, or as a sophisticated starter for dinner parties. Serve warm with sturdy crackers, crisp vegetable sticks, or pita wedges for a complete experience that celebrates coastal flavors.

  5. Spoon the crab mixture into a greased 2-cup ovenproof dish.
  6. In a small bowl, stir together the bread crumbs and melted butter until evenly moistened.
  7. Sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture evenly over the top of the crab dip.
