Description
Savory, cheesy, briny and rich, this baked seafood dip tastes like the house special at a coastal cafe. Luckily, it's easy to make at home.
Ingredients
- 1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- 1 can (4 ounces) tiny shrimp, rinsed and drained
- 3/4 cup chopped imitation crabmeat
- 1/2 cup chopped green onions
- 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
- 2 teaspoons dill weed
- 2 teaspoons minced fresh parsley
- 1 round loaf (1-1/2 pounds) unsliced bread
- assorted fresh vegetables
Directions
- In a large bowl, beat the first nine ingredients until blended. Cut the top fourth off the loaf of bread; carefully hollow out bottom, leaving a 1/2-in. shell. Cube removed bread; set aside. Fill bread shell with seafood mixture.
- Place on an ungreased baking sheet. Cover top edges loosely with foil. Bake at 350° for 25 minutes. Remove foil; bake 25-35 minutes longer or until crust is golden brown and spread is heated through. If desired, top with additional sliced green onions. Serve with vegetables and bread cubes.
