Step-by-Step Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a medium mixing bowl, combine 8 ounces of softened cream cheese, 1 cup of sour cream, and 2 teaspoons of Worcestershire sauce. Blend until smooth.
Fold in 1 cup of fresh crab meat, 1 tablespoon of Old Bay seasoning, 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese, the juice of half a lemon, and 2 sliced green onions.
Transfer the mixture into an oven-safe dish and spread it evenly.
Bake for approximately 25 minutes, until the edges start to bubble and surface is slightly golden.
Switch to broil and leave the dip in for an additional 1-2 minutes for a golden top.
Allow the dip to sit for a few minutes before serving. Serve warm with crackers, toasted baguette slices, or fresh vegetables.
