Hot Crab and Artichoke Dip

This recipe can be made early in the day or even the day ahead of your party and then as guests are arriving pop it in the oven.  Depending on the size of your dish heat it for 15 to 30 minutes.  It can be microwaved but very gently, otherwise the mayonnaise will separate and you’ll have a bunch of oil floating on the top of your dish – yuck!

Hot Crab and Artichoke Dip

• 1 1/2 cups mayonnaise
• 1/2 pound Dungeness crab meat
• 4 oz thinly sliced onions
• 8 oz chopped artichoke hearts
• 4 oz shredded parmesan cheese
• 3 tsp. minced fresh parsley

Preheat oven to 350°.  Combine and mix all ingredients except parsley.  Place in one large baking dish or several small dishes.  Heat 15 to 30 minutes, until mixture is hot and slightly bubbly. 

Remove from oven, garnish with parsley.  Serve with crackers or sliced baguette.
