Lobster Cheese Dip

Recipes

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon butter

  • 1 small onion, finely diced

  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

  • 1 cup cooked lobster meat, chopped

  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened

  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise

  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

  • 1/4 teaspoon paprika

  • Salt and pepper to taste

  • Chopped fresh parsley or chives for garnish (optional)

Directions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a small baking dish and set aside.

  2. In a skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the diced onion and cook until softened about 3-4 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

  3. Stir in the chopped lobster meat and cook for 2-3 minutes, just until heated through. Remove from heat and set aside.

  4. In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, mayonnaise, shredded cheddar cheese, shredded mozzarella cheese, grated Parmesan cheese, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.

  5. Fold in the cooked lobster mixture until evenly distributed throughout the cheese mixture.

  6. Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.

  7. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the dip is hot and bubbly, and the cheese is melted and lightly golden brown on top.

  8. Once done, remove from the oven and let it cool slightly. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley or chives if desired.

  9. Serve the lobster cheese dip warm with tortilla chips, crackers, breadsticks, or vegetable sticks for dipping
