Scale
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise

  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large bowl, beat together cream cheese, mayonnaise, and sour cream until smooth.
  3. Stir in cheddar cheese, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, black pepper, and salt until well combined.
  4. Gently fold in the crabmeat, being careful not to break up the lumps.
