Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- In a large bowl, mix crabmeat, mayonnaise, onion, Asiago, and paprika together. Put mixture into an ovenproof baking dish. Cover and bake until mixture is heated through and bubbly, about 20 minutes. Remove cover, and bake until golden brown, an additional 5 to 10 minutes.
- While the fondue is baking, thinly slice the baguette. In a small saute pan, heat the oil and garlic so the flavors infuse. Brush each slice of bread with the flavored oil and place on a cookie sheet. Sprinkle bread with salt and pepper, to taste. Bake until golden brown. Arrange bread around fondue on a serving platter and enjoy.
Tips:
- Use fresh crab meat. Fresh crab meat has a sweeter, more delicate flavor than frozen crab meat.
- Shred the crab meat into small pieces. This will help it to melt evenly into the fondue.
- Use a good quality white wine. A dry white wine, such as a Pinot Grigio or Sauvignon Blanc, will work well in this recipe.
- Don't overcook the fondue. The fondue should be cooked until it is melted and bubbly, but not boiling.
- Serve the fondue with a variety of dippers. Some good options include bread cubes, vegetables, and seafood.

Crabmeat fondue is a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or main course. It is perfect for a party or a special occasion.
