Method
Creamy Base
- 1
Soften and combine
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with a hand mixer until smooth and lump-free (about 1–2 minutes). Add the sour cream, mayonnaise, and cream of celery soup and mix until fully incorporated and smooth.
Seafood & Vegetables
- 2
Prepare seafood and vegetables
Fold the chopped crab (or imitation crab), diced celery, chopped green onions, and chopped red bell pepper into the creamy base. Stir gently until evenly distributed so the pieces remain distinct.

In a small bowl, combine the panko breadcrumbs and melted butter. Mix until crumbs are lightly coated, then sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture evenly over the cheese layer.

Bake
Bake in the preheated 350°F (175°C) oven for 20–25 minutes, or until the dip is bubbling around the edges and the top is golden brown. If you want a deeper brown top, broil for 1–2 minutes while watching carefully.

Finish and serve
Remove from oven and let rest for 5 minutes. Sprinkle chopped fresh parsley over the top and serve warm with lemon wedges on the side. Serve with crackers, toasted baguette slices, or vegetable crudités.
