Fish Dish and Appetizer Recipes

Last year I posted the cold crab dip recipe...... this year I'll post the hot dip recipe.

Quick and easy.

Hot Crab Dip

8 ounce package of plain cream cheese
1/4 cup Hellmann’s mayonnaise
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1 bunch of green onion - chopped finely
1 can flaked crab meat
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Optional – a few squirts of Tabasco, and a few shakes of Old Bay Seasoning.

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

Unwrap the cream cheese place in a bowl & microwave slightly to soften it - add mayo, blend together.

Add remaining ingredients - mix in.

Spread mixture in a 9 inch pie plate.

Bake for 18 - 20 minutes, until heated through and lightly browned.

Serve while hot with crackers or homemade pita crisps.

Homemade Pita Crisps:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Split 6” pita breads in half horizontally; brush cut sides lightly with a good olive oil.
Cut each round into eight wedges.
Place wedges cut side up on rimmed baking sheets.
Sprinkle one side lightly with your favorite salt and pepper.
Bake 10 to 12 minutes – or until golden and crisp.
Crisps will keep for a week in an air tight container.
