How to Make It
1. Step
Preheat the oven to 325˚F (160˚C).
2. Step
Melt the butter in a medium pan over medium-low heat. Add the onion, garlic, and salt. Cook for 12-15 minutes, until the onions are caramelized. Remove from heat and transfer to a small bowl to cool completely.
3. Step
Using a fine-mesh strainer, drain crab meat over a bowl.
4. Step
In a medium bowl, combine the cream cheese, sour cream, mayonnaise, Worcestershire, hot sauce, Old Bay, and lemon juice. Using an electric mixer, beat together until well combined. With a flexible spatula, fold in the onion mixture, ¾ cup (75 grams) cheddar cheese, and the crab meat.
5. Step
Transfer the dip to a 1-quart baking dish. Top evenly with the remaining cheddar cheese.
6. Step
Bake for 20-25 minutes, until the mixture is just beginning to bubble around the edges and the cheese is melted.
7. Step
Heat the broiler to low. Broil dip for 3 minutes, until the whole surface is bubbling and browned. Remove the dip from the oven. Let cool for at least 15 minutes, until set.
8. Step
Garnish the dip with Old Bay and chives. Serve with carrot sticks, celery sticks, crackers, and crostini.
