Crab Dip Gratin Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• In a medium bowl, combine the cream cheese, onion, mayonnaise, crabmeat, garlic powder, salt and pepper. Spread mixture into a 1 quart baking dish.
• Bake for 20 minutes in the preheated oven. While the dip is baking, cut a circle in the top of the bread, and scoop out the inside to create a bread bowl. Tear the removed bread into pieces for dipping.
• Remove baked crab dip from the oven, and stir well. Spoon the mixture into the hollowed out loaf. Place bread bowl and chunks of bread on a medium baking sheet, and bake for an additional 10 minutes. Serve hot.

Steps:

• In a large saucepan, melt 2 tablespoons butter. Stir in the flour, salt and paprika until smooth. Gradually add the cream, milk and wine. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 1-2 minutes or until thickened. Stir in the crab, mushrooms and chives; heat through. Stir in cheese just until melted., Transfer to a greased shallow 1-qt. baking dish. Melt remaining butter; toss with bread crumbs. Sprinkle over crab mixture. Bake, uncovered, at 400° for 10-15 minutes or until bubbly. Let stand for 5 minutes. Serve with crackers.

Steps:

• Heat the cream in a heavy saucepan.
• Add the herbs, salt and pepper, green onions, and parsley.
• Stir and simmer until thickened, about 8 minutes.
• Stir in the shrimp and cook until just turning pink, about 4 minutes.
• Remove from the heat and stir in half the cheese until that melts then add the crabmeat very carefully.
• Pour into an oven proof dish and top with the remaining cheese and pop under the broiler until the cheese bubbles and turns golden.
• Serve!

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350º.
• Feel through the crab meat to make sure there aren't any remaining bits of shell still attached.
• Melt the butter in a 2 quart, heavy-bottomed pan. Add the shallots, cayenne and pepper and sauté over medium heat for 5 minutes. Add the garlic and sauté until fragrant - only about 30 seconds.
• Pour the dry vermouth and the lemon juice into the pan, and raise the heat to medium-high, stirring and scraping the bottom of the pan to deglaze it. Cook, uncovered, over medium-high heat for 5 minutes.
• Lower the heat to medium-low. Cut the cream cheese into large chunks (about 2 tablespoons each), and stir them into the pan, stirring well to make sure the cheese melts and is well combined with the other ingredients.
• Once all the cream cheese is melted, add the Gruyere and Parmesan cheeses. Stir well until they are melted and combined with the rest of the ingredients.
• Stir in the crab meat, half and half, and Tabasco, mixing to combine the ingredients well.
• Taste the dip - the cheeses add a fair amount of salt, so I don't usually add any more. But if you like you could add some salt at this point.
• Bake at 350º for 30 minutes. Garnish with chives and serve with crackers or toast rounds.
