Crab and Artichoke Dip

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.

Step 2

Beat the cream cheese, mayonnaise, and 2 cups of parmesan cheese in a stand mixer until well combined.

Step 3

Mix in the onion, celery, green onions, red pepper, garlic, lemon and tabasco.

Step 4

Finally, add the artichoke hearts and crab meat. Mix on low until combined.

Step 5

Transfer the dip to a medium sized baking dish.

Step 6

Bake at 425 degrees for 15-20 minutes or until the dip is hot and bubbly.

Step 7

Sprinkle the remaining parmesan cheese over the top of the dip. Turn the oven up to broil and bake the dip for 2-3 minutes or until the top is golden brown.

Step 8

Serve with your choice of chips or make some parmesan crostini. I found this perfect pre-chopped french bread in the bakery of my local grocery store.

Step 9

To make the crostini spread a bit of butter on each piece of bread, then sprinkle with garlic powder and shredded parmesan cheese. Bake at 425 degrees for 8-10 minutes.
