Scale

Dip Ingredients

  • 8 ounces cream cheese, room temperature (227 grams)
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese, divided (113 grams)
  • 6 ounces lump crab meat, drained and picked through (170.1 grams)
  • 2 green onions, thinly sliced, plus more for topping
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon soy sauce

Wonton Chips (Optional)

  • 3 cups neutral oil for frying (canola or vegetable oil) (594 grams)
  • 24 wonton wrappers, cut into triangles

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Spray a 3-cup baking dish with cooking spray and set it aside.
  2. Heat Oil for Wonton Chips (Optional): If making wonton chips, begin heating the oil in a heavy-bottomed skillet to 350 degrees Fahrenheit before assembling the dip. Alternatively, you can serve the dip with tortilla chips to save time.
  3. Mix Dip: In a large bowl, blend the cream cheese until smooth. Fold in 1 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese, lump crab meat, sliced green onions, minced garlic, Worcestershire sauce, and soy sauce gently but thoroughly to combine all flavors evenly.
  4. Assemble and Bake: Spread the crab mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish. Top the mixture with the remaining 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese. Bake uncovered in the preheated oven for 20 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  5. Make Wonton Chips: While the dip bakes, fry wonton triangles in batches in the hot oil until golden and crisp, about 1 minute per side. Remove chips with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.
  6. Serve: Once baked, top the warm dip with additional sliced green onions. Serve immediately with the freshly fried wonton chips or tortilla chips for dipping.

Notes

  • Make sure the cream cheese is softened to room temperature for easier blending and a smoother dip.
  • Use fresh lump crab meat for the best flavor and texture; canned crab can be used in a pinch.
  • Wonton chips should be fried carefully to avoid burning and drained well to maintain crispiness.
  • For a lighter option, serve with tortilla chips or fresh vegetable sticks.
  • You can prepare the dip mixture ahead and refrigerate; bake just before serving.
