Hot Crab and Oyster Dip image

This fairly traditional hot crab dip, rich with mayonnaise, Monterey Jack and plenty of hot sauce, has one major difference: the addition of chopped oysters, which add a saline note to all the creaminess. You can mix the ingredients together a day ahead and store it in the refrigerator. But be sure to bake it just before serving. You want the cheese hot, melted and very gooey.

This dip is a little too rich for my taste, but it's definitely a crowd-pleaser. I would recommend serving it with a variety of dippers to balance out the richness.
