Ingredients
  • 4 oz organic cream cheese at room temperature
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise * I used Sir Kensington's Organic
  • 1 tbsp white vinegar
  • 1/2 cup red bell pepper, chopped small
  • 1/2 cup parsley, chopped
  • 10-12 oz fresh crab meat, drained
  • 3 tbsp fresh chives, chopped
  • 1 tsp sriracha sauce
  • 1/4 cup panko (can be gluten free)
  • 1/2 tsp kosher salt and pepper
  • crostinis, pita chips, carrots, celery, radishes for dipping
Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Whip together cream cheese with white vinegar, mayo, and sriracha until smooth and light. Stir in the bell pepper, parsley, crab and chives. Transfer to a shallow baking dish - I used a gratin dish. Sprinkle panko on top. 

  2. Bake at 425 for 12-15 minutes, until the panko is lightly browned and the dip is bubbling. Serve warm. 

Recipe Notes

If you can tolerate lemon zest - grate about 1/2 a tsp to mix in with the panko.
