Hot crab dip Lee's

Hot crab dip is a classic recipe originating from American cuisine, particularly popular in the Maryland region, where blue crab is a highly valued ingredient. This dish is characterized by its creamy texture and intense flavor, making it ideal for sharing as an appetizer at gatherings and celebrations. In other Latin American countries, this type of preparation is commonly known as "gratinated crab dip" or "baked crab cream," although the recipe may vary slightly depending on the region and available ingredients.

Hot crab dip combines the freshness of seafood with a rich blend of cheeses and seasonings, making it a perfect accompaniment for toasted bread, crackers, or fresh vegetables. Its popularity transcends borders and has been adapted to different local flavors, but always maintaining its creamy and savory essence.
