Hot Crab Dip

Hot Crab Dip - TheRecipe.Website

Whilst dips and spreads tend to pop in and out of fashion, hot crab dip has always remained popular.  I have used this in the height of winter and the scorching heat of summer and it has always been good. This dip is ideal as a dish with small slices of toasted bread and crackers. However, put some Hot Crab Dip on a warm bagel and you have a new level. Also I have used this as a starter when followed by a dark meat such as Beef Stroganoff or Beef Wellington. This is a dip that people will think of as dated but will always try. Funny that!
