Tasty, cheesy and full of Cajun spice this Crawfish Dip is the perfect use of that leftover crawfish. With cream cheese, Cajun seasoning and crawfish tails it's a skillet full of deliciousness.
In a large skillet add 2 Tablespoons of the butter and melt over medium heat.
4 Tablespoons Unsalted Butter
Add the onion, bell peppers, celery and garlic and cook until translucent. Season with the salt and pepper.
1 Each Yellow Onion, ½ Cup Red Bell Pepper, ½ Cup Celery, 2 Cloves Garlic, 1 teaspoon Sea Salt, ½ teaspoon Black Pepper
Add the crawfish tails and cook another 2 minutes.
1 Pound Crawfish Tails
In a large mixing bowl, add the cream cheese, mayonnaise, Gruyere cheese, Worcestershire sauce, and hot sauce. Mix well until totally combined.
1 (8 Ounce) Block Cream Cheese, 1 Cup Gruyere Cheese, ½ Cup Mayonnaise, 1 teaspoon Worcestershire Sauce, 1 teaspoon Hot Sauce
Add the crawfish mixture and stir with a large wooden spoon until well mixed.
Add back to the large skillet and top with the parmesan cheese and green onions.
¼ Cup Parmesan Cheese
Top with the breadcrumbs and pour the remaining butter (melted) over the top of the breadcrumbs.
2 Each Green Onions, ½ Cup Plain Breadcrumbs
Bake in the oven at 350°F for 30 minutes until golden brown and bubbling around the edges.
Serve immediately with toasted baguette slices and any other chips.
Notes
Although I didn't use one in the images a cast iron skillet works perfectly for this recipe as it holds an even temperature and is safe for use in the oven.
