How to Make Dungeness Crab Dip

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Slice a baguette into 1/4-inch thick slices. Cut each slice in half. Arrange on a baking sheet and brush generously with 2 tablespoons melted butter.
  3. Sprinkle with freshly cracked black pepper, pressing gently to adhere.
  4. Broil for 2-3 minutes per side, watching carefully, until lightly toasted. Remove from oven and let cool on a wire rack.
  5. In a medium bowl, combine 8 ounces cream cheese (softened), 1/2 cup sour cream, 2 cloves minced garlic, 1 1/2 cups Dungeness crab meat (picked over for shells), 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese, 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (or to taste), and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
  6. Mix thoroughly until well combined.
  7. Lightly butter two 4-ounce ramekins.
  8. Divide the crab mixture evenly between the prepared ramekins.
  9. Bake for 20-22 minutes, or until the top is bubbly and lightly browned.
  10. Serve immediately with the toasted baguette slices and a small spreader.
