Crab Dip Ingredients

Method

Preparation Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Rajas

    In a skillet over medium heat, add a tablespoon of olive oil and sauté sliced bell peppers and onions until caramelized, about 15 minutes. Set aside.

  2. 2

    Mix the Dip

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the lump crab meat, southwest cheese blend, softened cream cheese, caramelized rajas, lemon zest, and chopped chives. Mix gently to combine, being careful not to break up the crab meat too much.

  3. 3

    Season and Serve

    Add chile crunch to the mixture to your desired spice level. Transfer the crab dip to a serving dish and top with additional chives and a drizzle of chile crunch. Serve with crispy brioche toast points.
