Preheat your oven to 350°F. If using a cast iron skillet, lightly grease a 10-inch skillet or a similar oven-safe baking dish.

In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and mayonnaise. Beat with an electric mixer on medium speed, or vigorously with a spatula, until smooth and well combined.

Add the Worcestershire sauce, dry mustard, Old Bay seasoning, minced garlic, sliced scallions, salt, and black pepper to the cream cheese mixture. Mix until all ingredients are evenly distributed.

Fold in the 1/2 cup of freshly grated Parmesan cheese and 1/2 cup of freshly grated aged white cheddar cheese into the mixture. Stir gently until just combined.

Carefully fold in the jumbo lump crabmeat. Be gentle to avoid breaking up the delicate lumps of crab. The goal is to incorporate it without shredding the crab.

Transfer the crab dip mixture into your prepared cast iron skillet or baking dish. Spread it evenly. Sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup of Parmesan cheese and 1/4 cup of aged white cheddar cheese generously over the top.

Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the dip is bubbly around the edges and the cheese on top is melted and golden brown. Keep an eye on it to prevent over-browning.

Remove from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before serving. Serve hot with sliced baguette, crackers, or your favorite dippers.
