Ingredients
- 1 T olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 bunch green onions, finely chopped
- 8 oz cream cheese
- 2 T lemon juice
- 2 T hot sauce (or to taste)
- 1 T Worcestershire sauce
- 1/4 C parsley, chopped
- 1 ts paprika
- 1 ts kosher salt
- 1/2 ts cayenne (or to taste)
- 1 lb canned crab (I used claw meat), picked over and shell remnants discarded
- 1 C + 1/4 C shredded cheddar or Mexican cheese blend
Procedure
- Preheat oven to 350F.
- In a large saucepan, sauté garlic in olive oil until golden. Add green onions and immediately turn off the heat.
- Mix in cream cheese; stir until melted. Add lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce, parsley, paprika, salt, and cayenne. Stir until combined.
- Gently fold in crabmeat and 1 C cheese. Spoon into an oven-safe casserole or pie pan; top with remaining cheese.
- Bake for 30-40 minutes, until top is melted and dish is heated through. (It may puff up a bit around the edges.) Serve hot with crostini or pita chips.
Crostini
Slice baguette thinly on an angle. Brush slices with olive oil and place in a single layer on a cookie sheet. Broil for 4-6 minutes until golden brown—cooking time may vary greatly, so make sure to stay close or you'll end up with carbon shingles.

Always go to bed with an empty washing machine. That way, when someone throws up or wets the bed in the wee hours of the morning, you can just toss all the laundry in and start the wash cycle immediately.
