Ingredients

Scale

1 pound cooked langostino lobster, thawed if frozen
1 (8 oz) block of cream cheese, softened
½ cup mayonnaise
⅓ cup sour cream
1 teaspoon dijon mustard
1 teaspoon dried chives
1 teaspoon dried dill
1 teaspoon freshly grated lemon zest
8 ounces gruyere cheese, freshly grated
2 ounces parmesan cheese, freshly grated
Kosher salt and pepper to taste
Crushed potato chips, for topping
Potato chips and splitters, for serving

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat Oven Start by preheating your oven to 400 degrees F (204 degrees C) to ensure it’s hot and ready for baking the dip.
Step 2: Prepare Langostino Pat the langostino lobster dry using a paper towel to remove any excess moisture, which helps in keeping the dip creamy and not watery.
Step 3: Mix Ingredients In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, mayonnaise, sour cream, dijon mustard, dried chives, dried dill, lemon zest, salt, and pepper. Either stir vigorously or use a mixer to achieve a smooth, well-incorporated blend.
Step 4: Add Cheeses and Langostino Stir in the freshly grated gruyere and parmesan cheeses along with the prepared langostino lobster, mixing well to distribute evenly throughout the mixture.
Step 5: Prepare for Baking Transfer the mixture into a suitable baking dish, such as an 8-inch pie plate, spreading it evenly. Sprinkle the top generously with crushed potato chips for a delightful crunch.
Step 6: Bake Bake the dip in the preheated oven for about 25 to 30 minutes, or until you see it bubbling and thoroughly heated through. This ensures that all flavors meld beautifully.
Step 7: Serve Remove the dip from the oven, and if desired, garnish with additional fresh herbs or chives. Serve warm with potato chips and splitters, perfect for dipping.
