Preheat the oven to 375 F. In a medium size mixing bowl combine shredded parmesan, mozzarella and cheddar. Mix well and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl combine cream cheese, sour cream, mayonnaise, crushed garlic, Old Bay seasoning, lemon juice and a pinch of cayenne (optional). Use an electric hand mixer on medium speed until the ingredients are well combined. Add in the spinach, chopped artichoke hearts and 1.5 cups of the shredded cheese. Mix by hand until combined. Then fold in the drained lump crab meat, trying not to break up the pieces too much. Taste and season with additional salt and pepper to taste. Sprinkle the remaining cheese evenly over the top. Then bake at 375 degrees F for 25-30 minutes until bubbly and the cheese is melted and browned.
Remove from the oven and serve hot with pita chips, tortilla chips or veggie slices.
