Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 oz (225 g) cream cheese, softened
  • ½ cup sour cream
  • ¼ cup mayonnaise
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella or Monterey Jack cheese
  • 1 cup lump crab meat (fresh or canned), drained
  • 2 green onions, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce or Worcestershire sauce
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 cup crushed wonton strips or wonton chips (store-bought or homemade)
  • Optional: additional shredded cheese for topping

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). Lightly grease a 9×9 inch (23×23 cm) baking dish.

  2. In a large bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, sour cream, and mayonnaise until smooth.

  3. Stir in the shredded cheese, crab meat, chopped green onions, garlic, soy sauce, salt, and pepper until fully incorporated.

  4. Spread the mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish.

  5. Sprinkle additional shredded cheese on top if desired.

  6. Bake uncovered for 25 minutes, until the casserole is hot and bubbly.

  7. Remove from oven and evenly sprinkle crushed wonton strips on top.

  8. Return to oven and bake for an additional 5 minutes, or until the wonton topping is crisp and golden.

  9. Serve warm with crackers, toasted bread, or veggies for dipping.

Notes

  • For a lighter version, substitute Greek yogurt for sour cream and use reduced-fat cream cheese.

  • If you prefer a spicy kick, add a teaspoon of sriracha or diced jalapeños to the filling.

  • You can prepare the casserole a day ahead, cover it, and refrigerate until ready to bake. Add the wonton topping just before the final bake.

  • Gluten-free? Use gluten-free wonton chips or skip the topping and serve as a dip.
