WARM CRAB AND ARTICHOKE DIP



WARM CRAB AND ARTICHOKE DIP image

Categories     Shellfish     Vegetable     Appetizer     Bake

Yield makes about 3 cups

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 pkg.(5 oz.) cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup mayonaise
1 cup Parmesan cheese, grated or shredded
1/2 cup Walla Walla or any sweet onion, finely chopped
1 tsp. Worcestershire sauce
1 Tbs. fresh lemon juice or dry white wine
1 tsp. horseradish, drained
1 (13oz.) can plain (not marinated) artichoke hearts, well drained and chopped
6 oz. shredded Dungeness crab or similar crabmeat
3 Tbs. unseasoned bread crumbs
freshly ground pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a medium bowl, stir together the cream cheese, mayonaise, Parmesan cheese, chopped onion, Worcestershire sauce, lemon juice (or wine), horseradish, and a small amount of pepper to taste. Fold in artichoke and crabmeat. Scrape mixture into a baking dish. Sprinkle bread crumbs over top. Bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes. Turn oven to 400 degrees and bake another five minutes. Serve warm.

Tips:

  • Use fresh crab meat for the best flavor. Fresh crab meat is more tender and flavorful than frozen crab meat, and it will give your dip a more authentic taste.
  • Don't overcook the crab meat. Crab meat is delicate, so it only needs to be cooked for a few minutes. Overcooking will make it tough and chewy.
  • Use a good quality cheese. The cheese is one of the main ingredients in this dip, so it's important to use a good quality cheese that will melt well and provide a rich flavor.
  • Season the dip to taste. This dip is typically served with crackers or bread, so you may want to season it a little more heavily than you would if you were serving it as a main course.
  • Serve the dip warm. This dip is best served warm, so it's important to reheat it if it's been refrigerated before serving.

Conclusion:

Warm crab dip is a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer that is perfect for any occasion if you are a seafood lover. It can be served with crackers, bread, or vegetables, and it's sure to be a hit with your guests. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy appetizer, give this warm crab dip a try. You won't be disappointed!
