Crab and Artichoke Dip
This crab and artichoke dip is the definition of a showstopper appetizer. It is rich and creamy with big chunks of real crab meat, savory artichoke hearts, and that gorgeous bubbly golden top you get from the parmesan. I make this every holiday season and it genuinely never lasts more than 10 minutes on the counter. Do not tell anyone how easy it is.

How to Make It
Preheat oven to 375F. Drain and chop artichoke hearts. Gently mix cream cheese, mayo, parmesan, garlic, green onions, artichokes, and crab meat together — try not to break up the crab chunks. Season with salt and pepper, transfer to a baking dish, top with more parmesan, and bake 20-25 minutes until bubbly and golden.
