    In a large mixing bowl, combine the artichoke hearts, crab meat, cream cheese, sour cream, mayonnaise, grated Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, lemon juice, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are fully incorporated and creamy.

    Transfer the mixture into a baking dish, spreading it evenly.

    Brush both sides of the pita bread and Tuscan bread slices with olive oil.
