Notes

Make sure you are using plain panko breadcrumbs since you are seasoning them with Old Bay.
It helps to let the cream cheese sit out on the counter for half an hour or so before making the dip.
You can make this dip ahead of time if you prefer! It holds up pretty well as long as you keep it chilled.
