How to Make Crab Dip In A Bread Bowl

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Prepare the bread bowl: Cut the top off a large round loaf of sourdough or similar bread. Scoop out the inside, leaving about a ½-inch border. Brush the inside of the bread bowl with melted butter.
  3. In a large bowl, combine the crab meat, cream cheese, mayonnaise, sour cream, Parmesan cheese, Old Bay seasoning, garlic powder, lemon juice, and Worcestershire sauce. Mix until well combined.
  4. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  5. Spoon the crab dip mixture into the prepared bread bowl.
  6. Replace the bread top onto the bowl.
  7. Wrap the bread bowl tightly with foil.
  8. Bake for 45-60 minutes, or until the dip is heated through and bubbly. (Baking time may vary depending on the size of your bread bowl and oven.)
  9. Remove from oven, let stand for 10 minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh parsley or chives (optional).
