Yield Makes 6 to 8 hors d'oeuvre or first-course servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 medium leek (white part only)
1 medium Vidalia or other sweet onion
1/2 cup drained canned artichoke hearts
1/2 cup thawed frozen chopped spinach
1 pound Brie
2 tablespoons minced garlic
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/4 cup Riesling or other medium-dry white wine
2/3 cup heavy cream
3 tablespoons finely chopped fresh parsley leaves
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh dill leaves
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh tarragon leaves
1 pound fresh jumbo lump crab meat
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon Tabasco, or to taste
Accompaniment: toasted thin baguette slices

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425°F and lightly oil an 11-inch gratin or other shallow baking dish (about 6-cup).
  • Trim and finely chop leek. In a large bowl of water wash leek well and lift from water into a large sieve to drain. Finely chop onion. Rinse and finely chop artichoke hearts. Squeeze dry and finely chop spinach. Discard rind from Brie and cut into 1/4-inch pieces.
  • In a heavy skillet cook leek, onion, and garlic in oil over moderate heat, stirring, until pale golden and stir in artichoke hearts and spinach. Add wine and cook, stirring, 3 minutes. Add cream and simmer, stirring, 1 minute. Add Brie, stirring until it just begins to melt. Remove skillet from heat and stir herbs into mixture.
  • Pick over crab meat. In a large bowl stir together crab meat, mustard, Tabasco, and salt and pepper to taste and stir in cheese mixture. Spread mixture evenly in baking dish and bake in middle of oven 15 to 20 minutes, or until golden.
  • Serve dip hot with toasts.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my dip turned out really watery. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what happened.

This dip was okay, but I've had better. I think it needed more seasoning.

I wasn't a big fan of this dip. I found it to be too bland and the texture was a bit off.

This dip was a bit too rich for my taste, but I think it would be perfect for someone who loves creamy, cheesy dips.

This dip was delicious! I made it for a party and it was a big hit. The only thing I would change is that I would add a little more garlic next time.

I made this dip for a potluck and it was a huge success! Everyone loved it. I especially liked that it wasn't too heavy, so I could enjoy more than one serving without feeling guilty.

This dip was a hit at my party! It was creamy, cheesy, and had the perfect amount of crab and artichoke. I used a sourdough bread bowl for serving and it was a great way to soak up all the delicious dip. I would definitely make this again.
