Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 French bread loaf
- 1 cup Lump crab meat
- 8 ounces Cream cheese, softened
- 0.25 cup Mayonnaise
- 1 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 0.25 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 Green onions, finely chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Slice the French bread loaf in half lengthwise and place both halves on a baking sheet, cut-side up.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, mayonnaise, mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix until smooth and well combined.
Gently fold in the lump crab meat and chopped green onions, being careful not to overmix to maintain the crab's texture.
Spread the crab mixture evenly over the cut sides of the French bread halves.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the edges of the bread are golden brown.
Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool for 2-3 minutes.
Slice the bread into bite-sized pieces and serve warm. Enjoy!
