Spinach and Artichoke Hot Crab Dip

December 15, 2019 By Jessica Leave a Comment

Hot Crab Dip is a crowd favorite at our family parties. This version combines the delicious combo of spinach and artichokes for a tasty twist on a classic.

Hot Crab Dip

When it comes to throwing a social gathering, I’m all about serving warm, delicious cheesy dips. It’s seriously the ultimate appetizer. Perfectly rich and creamy… it’s the first thing that guests gravitate towards.

This hot crab dip is made with a blend of three cheeses: Swiss Gruyere, Monterey Jack and velvety cream cheese for the base. We then add spinach, marinated artichokes, bayou seasoning, a hint of garlic. To make it extra fancy… we’re also including lumps of fresh crab meat. Talk about an addicting combination!

WHAT TO SERVE WITH HOT CRAB DIP?

We enjoy eating this melty dip with toasty baguette slices, homemade pretzel bites and a variety of crisp veggies (carrots, celery, radish slices are good choices). Sometimes we even place it next to hummus and Irish Pub cheese on our cheeseboard for a creative spread with crackers. It even tastes great with tortilla chips! Hello versatility.

WHAT SEASONINGS PAIR WELL WITH THIS RECIPE?

Finding the right spice blend is a very important factor when cooking with seafood. Kitchen Crafted’s Bayou Catch seasoning gives a cajun kick to this recipe thanks to its perfect blend of chilies, salt, garlic, and onion.

CAN YOU MAKE THIS DISH AHEAD OF TIME?

Yes, of course! That’s one of the things that makes this party pleaser so easy. Mix the ingredients together in a large bowl, then place it in the refrigerator, covered, for up to a day in advance. When you’re ready to serve, simply transfer to a baking dish and cook as directed. Please note, you will need to add a few extra minutes to the cook time since the mixture is a little cooler from being in the refrigerator.

  3. Transfer dip to a baking dish and bake for 20 minutes.

NOTES ON HOT CRAB DIP: 

  • If making this in advance, simply mix all dip ingredients together in a large container, cover and refrigerate for up to 24 hours.
  • The parmesan cheese is completely optional, so if you don’t have any on hand it’s not a big deal. This ingredient just adds a touch of salty, nutty flavor. If you’re a Worchestire fan, a dash goes well with this recipe as well.
  • Fresh Italian Parsley is a nice garnish if you’d rather use this in place of the chives.
  • If you’re a big crab fan, you can add up to 16 ounces to this recipe.

DIRECTIONS:
1. Preheat oven to 375F.
2. Shred cheese and separate into three equal-sized portions.
3. Roll pizza dough out into a rectangle onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
4. In a small bowl combine 1 tablespoon melted butter and two cloves of minced garlic. Brush over the top of dough.

Beat the egg in a small bowl and brush the three exposed edges of the dough.

6. Combine 2 tablespoons of melted butter along with the garlic powder and parmesan cheese in a small bowl. Brush the exterior of the Stromboli, covering all three exposed sides.
7. Using a serrated knife, make shallow diagonal cuts along the top of the Stromboli, about every 2 inches.

When it comes Christmas Eve dinner that will feed When it comes Christmas Eve dinner that will feed your out of town guests, there’s nothing tastier than Italian Sausage Pasta made from scratch with brown butter, garlic, freshly grated parmesan and herbs.
.
BLOG —> https://sliceofjess.com/italian-sausage-pasta-with-brown-butter-and-herbs/
.
INGREDIENTS:
• 1 lb. Boxed Pasta Noodles
• 2 tbsp. Kosher Salt
• 16 oz. Mild Italian Ground Sausage (1 lb.)
• 8 tbsp. Unsalted Butter (1 stick)
• 1 cup Freshly Grated Parmesan
• 1 tbsp. Garlic Purée
• ½ cup reserved Pasta Water
• 3 Tbsp. chopped Italian Parsley Leaves
• 1 Tbsp. Fresh Thyme Leaves
• Freshly Ground Black Pepper, to taste
.
DIRECTIONS:
1. Bring a large pot water to a rolling boil and sprinkle-in the salt. Add pasta noodles and cook according to the package directions for al dente.
2. While the noodles are cooking, brown the sausage and drain any access oil. Set aside until you’re ready for assembly.
3. In a large skillet or Dutch oven, melt the butter over medium heat. Continue to scrape the bottom with a wooden spoon until golden brown bits form and you smell a nutty aroma. This usually takes about 3 minutes. Be very careful not to burn the butter, otherwise you’ll need to start over. Once browned, remove from heat immediately.
4. Once cooked, reserve about ½ cup of the starchy pasta water before draining. Add noodles to the brown butter and toss to combine. Sprinkle in about ¾ cup of cheese and a big squeeze of Garlic Purée. Using tongs, stir the noodles with 2 – 3 tablespoons of starchy pasta water. Continue to stir, until a glossy sauce has formed. Feel free to add more or less pasta water to reach your desired sauce consistency. Typically, you will not use the entire ½ cup.
5. When sauce has formed, go ahead and mix-in the cooked sausage. Serve with remaining cheese, fresh herbs, and freshly cracked black pepper.
