Note

Variation: Crab Dip - Substitute 1 package (7 oz.) of frozen crab meat for the lobster. Thaw and drain the crab meat well before adding it to the sauce.

Serving Suggestion: This dip is best served warm alongside crisp crackers, toasted baguette slices, or fresh vegetable sticks like carrots and celery.

Storage: Leftovers should be cooled completely and stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently on the stove, adding a splash of milk or cream if the consistency becomes too thick.

Tip: Ensure the heat is kept low when melting the cream cheese to prevent it from separating or becoming grainy.
