A delightful and creamy crab dip perfect for gatherings or a cozy night in.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Preheating ensures even cooking and a bubbly top.
In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, sour cream, and grated Parmesan cheese until smooth.
Make sure the cream cheese is softened for easier mixing.
Fold in the lump crab meat, finely chopped onion, garlic powder, and black pepper.
Gently fold to keep the crab meat intact for better texture.
Transfer the mixture to a baking dish and spread it evenly.
Use a shallow dish for a quicker bake and a nice crust.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes or until the top is golden and bubbly.
Keep an eye on the dip to avoid over-browning.
Serve warm with sourdough bread cubes or fresh vegetable sticks.
Garnish with a sprinkle of fresh parsley for added color and flavor.
