Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to prepare for baking the dip.
- Mix Creamy Base: In a medium bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, sour cream, mayonnaise, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, garlic powder, and onion powder. Stir thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and creamy with no lumps.
- Add Cheese and Crab: Fold in the shredded mozzarella cheese, lump crab meat, and thinly sliced green onions gently to evenly distribute without breaking up the crab meat too much.

- Transfer to Baking Dish: Spoon the crab mixture into a small baking dish and spread it out evenly for uniform cooking.
- Bake: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until the dip is hot and bubbly, with the edges turning a light golden color.
- Garnish and Serve: Remove from oven, sprinkle additional chopped green onions over the top for freshness and color. Serve immediately warm alongside wonton chips or crackers for dipping.
Notes
- Substitute Greek yogurt for sour cream to add a tangy flavor and reduce fat content.
- To make it spicy, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or a few dashes of your favorite hot sauce.
