This spicy dip is very good, though you may have to "turn down" the heat a bit! The recipe comes from a local periodical.

Time 35m

Yield 10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

1/3 lb cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup sour cream
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1/2 tablespoon chives, chopped
1 garlic clove, minced
1/2 tablespoon fresh thyme, leaves only
1 small shallot, minced
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper (adjust to your liking)
1 tablespoon hot sauce (adjust to your liking)
1/4 cup heavy cream
salt, to taste
fresh ground pepper, to taste
1 lb lump crabmeat, cooked

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, mix very well all ingredients except the crab meat.
  • Slowly fold in crab meat, to prevent it from shredding.
  • Transfer mixture to shallow baking dish. Heat at 350 degrees F for about 20 minutes, or until hot. (You may skip this step and serve the dip cold, if desired.).
  • Serve with crackers, toasted pita points, or crostini.
