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
-
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a small baking dish and set aside.
-
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.
-
Stir in the chopped lobster meat and cook for 2-3 minutes, just until heated through. Remove from heat and set aside.
-
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.
-
Fold in the cooked lobster mixture until evenly distributed throughout the cheese mixture.
-
Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
-
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.
-
Once done, remove from the oven and let it cool slightly. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley or chives if desired.
-
Serve the lobster cheese dip warm with tortilla chips, crackers, breadsticks, or vegetable sticks for dipping
