How to make Baked Crab Dip
Back to contentsPlace the crabmeat in a medium bowl and flake with your fingers. Stir in the pepper/capsicum, parsley, and chives. Using a rubber spatula, gently stir in the mayonnaise, cream cheese, lemon juice, and hot sauce. Transfer to a 1-qt/1-L shallow baking dish. In a small bowl, combine the panko and lemon zest.
Position a rack in the upper third of the oven and preheat the oven to 218°C/220°C/gas 7. Just before baking, sprinkle the panko mixture on top and bake until the panko is toasty brown and the dip is bubbling at the edges, about 12 minutes. Serve hot.
