Notes
- If you’re not a fan of Old Bay seasoning, substitute with your favorite crab boil seasoning. If the crab boil seasoning does not contain salt, add ½ teaspoon of salt to the cream cheese mixture. If you’d like to make your own, stir in ½ teaspoon of salt, 2 teaspoons dried thyme, and ¼ teaspoon of cayenne pepper.
- For gluten-free, omit the panko.
