Easy crowd-pleaser that looks and smells as luscious as it tastes. I use imitation crab and shrimp or scallops when budget-conscious.

How to Make Baked Crab Party Dip
- Combine softened cream cheese, Parmesan cheese, mayonnaise, dried onion, minced garlic, salt, pepper, parsley, and lemon juice.
- Chop imitation crab meat and stir into cream cheese mixture.
- Empty mixture into an oven-safe baking dish. (I use a white souffle baking dish.)
- Sprinkle top with more parsley and Old Bay Seasoning (or cayenne pepper).
- Bake at 350 degrees until bubbly and lightly browned (about 20-25 min).
- Tear pumpernickel bread into large bite-size chunks. Garnish with chopped fresh green scallions.
- Serving Suggestion: Place crab baking dish in the center of a serving plate, surrounded by the chunks of fresh pumpernickel bread. Sprinkle garlic salt over pumpernickel chunks, if desired.
