1 large loaf of round unsliced crusty bread

Steps:

  • Mix powdered soup mix with sour cream and mayonnaise and refrigerate until soup mix softens (this can be done overnight if you like).

Categories     Shellfish     Appetizer     Quick & Easy

Yield 18 appetizers

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 pkg. (6.5 oz.) Alouette Spinach Artichoke Spreadable Cheese
6 oz. jumbo lump crabmeat
1 tbsp. butter or margarine
2 tbsp. flour
1 ½ cups milk
½ tsp. garlic, minced
1/8 tsp. nutmeg, ground
salt and pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350° F. Lightly grease an 8" gratin dish or shallow, oven proof dish. Melt butter over medium heat in heavy gauge sauce pan. Add minced garlic and flour and stir until smooth. Add milk and bring to a simmer for 5 minutes, stirring constantly over medium heat. Add Alouette Spinach Artichoke Spreadable Cheese and heat until melted. Add ground nutmeg and season to taste with salt and pepper. Fold in crab meat and spoon into prepared baking dish. Bake for 8-10 minutes or until golden brown and bubbly. Serve warm.

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients: Fresh spinach, crab meat, and cream cheese will give your dip the best flavor.
  • Thaw frozen spinach properly: If using frozen spinach, thaw it in the refrigerator overnight or in a colander in the sink under cold running water. Squeezing out excess water before using.
  • Use a good quality crab meat: Look for crab meat that is fresh or frozen and has a mild, sweet flavor. Avoid crab meat that is too fishy or has a strong odor.
  • Don't overcook the spinach: Overcooked spinach will be mushy and lose its flavor. Cook it just until it is wilted.
  • Use a variety of cheeses: A combination of cheeses, such as cream cheese, cheddar cheese, and Parmesan cheese, will give your dip a rich and complex flavor.
  • Season the dip to taste: Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste. You can also add a touch of heat with cayenne pepper or chili powder.
  • Serve the dip warm: Spinach crab dip is best served warm, right out of the oven. You can also make it ahead of time and reheat it before serving.
  • Garnish the dip with fresh herbs: Fresh herbs, such as parsley, chives, or dill, will add a pop of color and flavor to your dip.
