HOT-CRAB AND PIMIENTO-CHEESE SPREAD



Hot-Crab and Pimiento-Cheese Spread image

Two Southern favorites-hot crab dip and pimiento cheese-are better than one, especially when they are combined to create a delightfully creamy appetizer. Making the spread couldn't be simpler: The ingredients are quickly mixed together, then it takes less than a half-hour to bake until golden, bubbling, and ready to serve with chips and crudités. A pre-dinner winner, if ever there was one.
