HOT JALAPEÑO CRAB DIP



HOT JALAPEÑO CRAB DIP image

Categories     Shellfish

Yield 8 appetizer servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

Dip:
1 pound lump crabmeat
1 teaspoon chopped garlic
1/2 cup chopped pickled jalapeños
1/4 pound Monterey Jack cheese with jalapeños, grated
1 teaspoon worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon hot sauce
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup mayonnaise
2 ounces Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, grated
Toasted Croutons:
1 loaf French bread (about 8 inches in diameter and 15 inches long), ends trimmed and cut crosswise into 1/4-inch thick slices
5 tablespoons olive oil
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • DIP: Preheat the oven to 350 F. Combine the crabmeat, garlic, jalapeños, Monterey Jack, worcestershire, hot sauce, salt and mayonnaise in a medium-size mixing bowl. Toss gently to mix. Spoon the mixture into a medium-size oven proof bowl. Sprinkle the Parmesan cheese evenly on the top of the crabmeat mixture. Bake until golden brown and bubbly, about 25 minutes. Remove from the oven and let sit for about 5 minutes before serving with the croutons. CROUTONS: Preheat oven to 400 F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Arrange the bread slices on the baking sheet and brush them with half of the olive oil, then sprinkle them with 1/8 teaspoon of the salt and 1/8 teaspoon of the black pepper. Turn the slices over, and brush them with the remaining oil, and sprinkle with the remaining salt and pepper. Bake for about 6 minutes, then turn the baking sheet around in the oven to ensure even browning. Bake until the croutons are lightly browned, about 6 more minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool completely before serving.

Tips:

  • To save time, use pre-packaged crab meat. Be sure to check the label to ensure it's pasteurized.
  • If you're using fresh crab, boil it for 10-12 minutes, then remove the meat from the shell.
  • Use a food processor to finely chop the onion, garlic, and jalapenos. This will help them blend smoothly into the dip.
  • Be careful not to overcook the dip. It should be heated through, but not boiling.
  • Serve the dip with your favorite dippers, such as tortilla chips, crackers, or vegetables.

Conclusion:

This hot jalapeno crab dip is the perfect appetizer for any party or gathering. It's easy to make, and it's always a hit with guests. The combination of crab, cream cheese, and jalapenos is delicious, and the dip is sure to keep everyone coming back for more.
