Ingredients

cooking spray (such as Pam)
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
1 (8 ounce) container sour cream
¼ cup mayonnaise or creamy salad dressing
½ teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon seafood seasoning (such as Old Bay), or to taste
2 cups fresh lump crabmeat, or more to taste
½ cup grated Cheddar cheese
2 small baguette loaves, sliced into about 4 to 5 pieces each

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray a glass loaf pan with cooking spray.
Mix cream cheese, sour cream, mayonnaise, Worcestershire sauce, and seafood seasoning together in a bowl. Gently fold crabmeat into cheese mixture; pour into the prepared loaf pan and top with Cheddar cheese.
Bake in the preheated oven until dip is bubbling, about 20 minutes. Toast baguette slices on oven rack during the last 5 minutes of baking the dip.

Tips

An alternative is to spread the mixture on halved French bread, top with cheese, and bake until the cheese bubbles. It is best not to use claw meat since it has a saltier taste, nor imitation crab, since that is fish and ultimately you would just have hot fish dip. Neufchâtel cheese may be used instead of cream cheese; it is less fattening and has a comparable taste.
