DIRECTIONS

MAKE CRAB ARTICHOKE DIP

  1. Preheat oven to 425°. In a large bowl, stir together cream cheese, mayonnaise, 1 cup of Monterey jack cheese, Parmesan, artichoke hearts, garlic, crabmeat, green onions, and Worcestershire and season with salt and pepper.
  2. Transfer mixture to a 10- or 12-inch oven-safe skillet and sprinkle with remaining 1/2 cup Monterey jack cheese. Bake until golden and bubbly, 15 to 20 minutes.

MAKE GARLICKY CROSTINI

  2. Garnish dip with parsley and serve with Garlicky Crostini.
