Made with lump crab meat, Old Bay seasoning, cream cheese and chives, this baked crab dip makes the perfect appetizer! Make it dairy-free using plant-based, non-dairy cream cheese and dairy-free cheddar cheese. If desired, top with diced green onions as a substitute for chives. —Jennifer Gilbert, Brighton, Michigan
