Expert Tips

Everyone will love this delicious, rich spread. Because of the richness of the cheeses, however, the spread may start to separate, and little puddles could appear on the surface. So stir the spread occasionally, and it will look as good as new.

Fresh crabmeat isn't available to everyone all year around, so that is why we suggest using the imitation crabmeat. The shredded imitation crabmeat for salad is perfect for this dip. But you can use drained canned crabmeat, or if you are fortunate, use shredded cooked fresh crabmeat.

As is this recipe is very bland, even with the red pepper flakes. Add juice from 1/2 lemon and zest from 1/2 lemon. Old Bay Seasoning, about 1/4- 1/2 tsp. I pretty much doubled the recipe execpt for the artichokes and I thought one can was plenty for a double recipe. I sliced 2 pb fb loaves in about 3/8" slices. About 19 slices per loaf. I buttered each slice and put under broiler till golden. Then added spread and broiled again till bubbly and warm. After plating I added the parsley and it looked like a very professional appetizer, easy to pick up and eat. Low-fat cr cheese, parm instead of
