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.

I'm not a fan of cream cheese, so I substituted Greek yogurt instead. It worked out great and the dip was still creamy and delicious.
