Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F.
Warm a small pan on the stove over medium heat to melt the butter. Add the minced garlic and let it cook for 5 minutes. Turn off the heat and add the crab to the garlic butter tossing to coat the crab well.
While the butter is melting, add the spinach, crab, mayonnaise, cream cheese spread, half the mozzarella, half the Jarlsberg, minced shallot, lemon juice, and seasonings to a large mixing bowl. Using electric hand beaters, thoroughly combine all the ingredients together on a lower setting. Alternatively, you can use a stand mixer on medium-low.
Add the buttery crab to the bowl of spinach dip and gently fold it in with a spatula. Pour the dip into a baking dish and top with the remaining mozzarella and Jarlsberg cheese.
Bake for 30 minutes. Serve immediately.
