If you are serving a hot dip. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit and spray an 8-inch oval, round, or square dish with nonstick cooking spray.
Combine the flavors.

If you are serving hot dip.
Bake in the preheated oven uncovered for 20 minutes or until the cheese has melted and thbe slightly browned with ubbly edges.
Garnish with sliced chives and enjoy with your favorite dippers. Crackers, sliced baguettes, pretzels, and tortilla chips are some favorites.

Notes

Add a splash or two of milk to your crab dip if the consistency is thicker than you would like.
I don’t recommend freezing leftover dip as the texture and consistency won’t be the same when it thaws.
Fold the crab meat gently into the dip mixture to prevent it from breaking up too much and getting lost.
