Description
A creamy, savory, and slightly sweet dip inspired by classic crab rangoon without the fuss of folding wontons, perfect for parties and gatherings.
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 8 oz Cream cheese, softened (Full fat is best for flavor and texture.)
- 1/2 cup Sour cream or mayonnaise (Adds richness and helps it stay scoopable.)
- 1 tbsp Garlic powder (Rounds out the flavor.)
- 1 tbsp Soy sauce (Adds savory depth.)
- 2 cups Imitation crab, chopped (Budget friendly and easy to find.)
- 1/4 cup Green onions, chopped (For a fresh bite.)
- 1 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese (For the topping.)
- 1 cup Crunchy topping (wonton strips, panko, or crushed crackers) (Adds texture.)
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 375°F and lightly grease your casserole dish.
- In a bowl, mix softened cream cheese, sour cream (or mayo), garlic powder, a small splash of soy sauce, and chopped green onions.
- Fold in the chopped imitation crab gently.
Assembly and Baking
- Spread the mixture into the dish in an even layer.
- Add shredded cheese on top, then your crunchy topping.
- Bake for about 30 minutes until hot and bubbly, then broil briefly for a golden color on top.
Notes
Let it rest for 5 to 10 minutes before serving for easier scooping. Keep toppings separate if preparing in advance for the best crunch.
