Give your guests an appetizer they won't forget by serving this Air Fryer Cheesy Hot Crab Dip. The perfect blend of spicy, creamy, and crunchy will have everyone returning for more!

Ingredients 

  • 1 pound fresh lump crab meat
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, room temperature
  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 3/4 cup cheddar cheese, shredded and divided
  • 2 teaspoons Old Bay Seasoning
  • 2 teaspoons Worcestershire Sauce
  • 1 teaspoon ground mustard
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  • Beat the cream cheese with a hand or stand mixer in a large bowl until smooth.
  • Add the remaining ingredients, except for the crab meat and saving ½ cup of cheddar cheese for the topping.
  • Beat for about a minute until the ingredients are well combined before folding in the crab meat.
    Spread the mix in a quart-sized baking dish and place it in the air fryer (I sit the dish right on my air fryer basket).
  • Set the cooking time for 5 minutes at 375 degrees f, remove from the air fryer and sprinkle the remaining cheese on top.
    Return to the air fryer and cook for another 5 minutes (still at 375) or until you get melty cheese on top.
  • Remove and serve with bagel crisps, wonton chips, crackers, tortilla chips, and your favorite dipping foods!
