by Co+op welcome to the table

baked crab and asparagus spread

When you want an elegant appetizer that will inspire raves, this delightful spread delivers. 

Total Time: 45 minutes; 20 minutes active
Servings: 6-8

INGREDIENTS
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 bunch asparagus, trimmed and cut into 1/2-inch pieces
  • 1 cup chopped canned artichoke hearts
  • 1 cup chopped fresh tomatoes
  • 3 cloves garlic, chopped
  • 1 6-ounce can lump crab meat, drained
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 8-ounce package Neufchâtel or cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/3 cup grated Parmesan
  • 2 large pinches smoked paprika
  • 1/4 cup slivered almonds
METHOD
  1. Heat oven to 375°F. Heat the olive oil in a sauté pan, then add the asparagus, artichokes, tomatoes and garlic. Sauté for about 5 minutes until asparagus is just tender. Remove from the skillet and place in a small, oiled baking dish. Stir in the crabmeat, and add salt and pepper.
  2. In a food processor, blend together the eggs, Neufchâtel and milk until fully incorporated.
