Crab Dip in a Bread Bowl image

This was made for a large party and got rave reviews on taste & presentation. It could also be made with shrimp. Although I have not tried it this way, I believe the crab dip could be placed in cooked bread bowl, bread top placed on top,and all covered with foil and baked until hot.

I'm allergic to seafood, so I made this dip without the crab. It was still delicious!

This crab dip was a disappointment. It was watery and lacked flavor.

I found this crab dip to be a bit bland. I had to add some extra seasoning to make it more flavorful.

I thought this crab dip was just okay. It wasn't as flavorful as I was hoping for.

This crab dip was a bit too rich for my taste. I think it would be better with less cream cheese.

This crab dip was a hit at my last party! I served it in a hollowed-out sourdough boule, and it was gone in minutes. The dip itself was creamy, cheesy, and flavorful, with just the right amount of crab. I will definitely be making this again.
