This Crab and Artichoke Dip is creamy, cheesy and absolutely delicious. This crowd pleasing dip is made with lump crab meat, artichoke hearts, and extra cheese. Buttery crumble on top is a perfect texture and flavor addition.

Crab and Artichoke Dip

This fantastic artichoke dip will please any crowd, whether it’s a family gathering or a holiday party.

I’m such a sucker for hot, cheesy dips. If there is a dip like that at a party, you know where to find me. I’m hanging out with the dip and a handful of crackers.

My two absolute favorite dips are Hot Crab Dip and Spinach Artichoke Dip. Those are such classic dips and that’s because they are the best. This crab and artichoke dip is a beautiful combination of the two classics.

It’s very easy to put this dip together and all you need is a hand-held blender and a bowl. Just mix ingredients together, transfer it into the baking dish, and top it off with a buttery cracker crumb topping.

Bake it and serve hot with an array of crackers, bread sticks, and pretzels.

Can this dip be made ahead of time?

Absolutely! This dip is easily put together ahead of time. Just prepare everything up to the step where you add the cracker topping.

Don’t add the topping until ready to bake or it will get wet and soggy.

This dip can be covered and refrigerated for a day or overnight. When ready, simply prepare the cracker topping, spread it over the dip, and bake until dip starts to bubble.

Can this be made without crackers? (Gluten Free)

Yes, this dip can definitely be made either without the cracker crumb topping or gluten free.

Cracker topping can be substituted for extra cheese on top.

If you still want the cracker topping but want it gluten free, simply use gluten free crackers when preparing the topping.

What to serve with this dip:

There are several things that will go great with this artichoke dip.

The best thing is freshly made baguette toasts. If you have the time, slice baguette thinly, brush it with some olive oil, and bake at 350 until golden.

Faster options include an array of crackers, pretzel chips, or breadsticks.

For the guests who want slightly healthier option, you can serve some celery sticks and cucumber slices. The flavor combination of this dip and veggies is not as good as with bread but it is a nice healthy alternative.

Can this dip be reheated?

Yes it can! There are two simple ways to re-heat the dip. You can do it in the microwave or in the oven.

Personally, I prefer to re-heat these kinds of dips in the over. Although, it does take a little loner, it re-heats nicer that way. Simply reheat at 350° until hot throughout.

In the microwave, it can be reheated in portions or as a whole. Reheat it covered and you will need to mix in the middle to ensure even heat.

    This was the best dip I have ever had bar none. Now I did adjust it to us a little bit…extra crab meat and because we are from Maryland Old Bay seasoning had to be added (just a very light sprinkling) but it was amazing. My brothers and I live together and this is a staple now I believe. We had it with green salad with shrimp and crab meat in it. Thank you for this I will be searching for my next new recipe here. Oh and I have celiac this is easy to do gluten free…just leave off the topping.
