What makes this dip so special is its versatility. It’s a crowd-pleaser for everything from potlucks to Sunday brunches. The golden, bubbly layer of cheese on top is hard to resist, and the warm, savory filling underneath is the perfect mix of tangy cream cheese, delicate crab meat, and just the right amount of seasoning.

It’s quick to throw together, and the crispy wonton dippers are fun to make, adding a delightful crunch that pairs perfectly with the creamy dip. Trust me, once you try it, this recipe will become a regular request from your family and friends.
Questions I Often Get Asked About This Recipe
Q: Can I use imitation crab instead of real crab?
Absolutely! While real crab meat adds a fresh, authentic flavor, imitation crab works great and is budget-friendly.
Q: Can I prepare this dip in advance?
Yes! You can assemble it a day ahead, cover it tightly, and refrigerate it. Just bake it fresh before serving for the best results.
Q: Can I substitute the wonton chips with something else?
Definitely! Tortilla chips, crackers, or sliced baguettes also pair wonderfully with this dip.
Q: Is this recipe gluten-free?
The dip itself is gluten-free, but you’ll need to ensure your chips or dippers are gluten-free as well.
