Skinny Maryland Crab Dip Appetizer

This is a skinnier version of classic Maryland crab dip. We tend to use crab dip as a condiment in Maryland, we put it on anything! Try using veggies instead of bread to dip to keep the calories down. This is a great way to use up those loose crab claws!

Step: 1

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

Step: 2

Place Neufchatel cheese in a saucepan over medium-low heat. Heat until cheese softens to a creamy consistency, 2 to 3 minutes. Add milk and mayonnaise, reduce heat to low, and stir until blended. Add onion, celery, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, and seafood seasoning; stir frequently until onion has softened slightly, 5 to 6 minutes.

Step: 3

Transfer cheese sauce into a ceramic or glass baking dish. Mix in all but a small handful of mozzarella cheese. Carefully fold crabmeat into the dip, making sure it’s evenly distributed. Top with remaining mozzarella and sprinkle with additional seafood seasoning.

Step: 4

Bake in the preheated oven until bubbly, 15 to 20 minutes. Garnish with cilantro.
