Ingredients

  • 2 (16 ounce) cans artichoke hearts
  • 2 (8 ounce) cans crabmeat (I prefer Trader Joes, most authentic)

  • 1 (6 ounce) canof chopped jalapenos (depending on your preferred spice level) or 1 (6 ounce) can green chilies (depending on your preferred spice level)
  • 14 teaspoon smoked paprika (divided)

Method

  • Preheat oven to 350.
  • Drain artichokes & crab meat ( I just open the can, leave on the lid & pour the water out).
  • Pour artichokes into small casserole dish & chop until pieces are shredded.
  • Add mayonnaise & stir.
  • Add parmesan, crab meat & jalapenos or green chiles, then stir altogether.
  • Sprinkle 1/2 paprika on top evenly.
  • Bake for 10 minute then carefully stir & sprinkle remaining paprika on top.
  • Cut of top of boule bread bowl w/ a knife.
  • Point serated knife downward & push down to cut round circle out.
  • (Be careful not to cut all the way through.)
  • Chop center piece into bite size pieces
  • Place baguette on cutting board & cut 1/4 inch slices.
  • Remove casserole dish & place on oven to cool slightly.
  • Increase oven temperature to broil.
  • Place baguette slices on cookie sheet & bake for 1 minute or until golden brown.
  • Allow baguettes to cool for 1 minute
  • Place boule bowl on round serving dish, then layer toasted baguettes or Triscuits evenly around bread bowl.
  • Spoon hot dip into boule bowl then serve.
  • (I place a small appetizer spreader or spoon for serving as dip is still hot.
  • I serve center cut of bread bowl when restocking baguettes or Triscuits).
