Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375 F.

Step 2

In a mixing bowl, beat together the cream cheese, mayonnaise, and sherry until well combined. You may use a mixer or a fork. Scrape the side of the bowl.

Step 3

Stir in your diced onion, Old Bay, and 1/4 cup of the shredded cheese. Scrape the sides of the bowl again.

Step 4

Fold in your crab. If you are using fresh lump crab, try not to break up too many of the big chunks. If not, just carefully fold in the crab.

Step 5

Place the mixture in a 6-inch round baking dish.

Step 6

In a small bowl, combine the crushed crackers and remaining cheese. Sprinkle evenly over your crab dip.

Step 7

Bake for 30 minutes until bubbly and warmed through.

Step 8

Serve immediately with additional crackers and crunchy vegetables like celery and carrot sticks, if desired. Enjoy!

If there are leftovers, cover and refrigerate for up to 3 days.
