    • In honor of the Super Bowl this Sunday and my love for entertaining, I give you the Meeting Street Crab Dip. During our days baking on Meeting Street, my mom and I served Kathie Lee and Hoda our crab dip on the Today Show and had a phenomenal response. Serve this up along with biscuits, bloodys, and pimento cheese and you'll win the Super Bowl of entertaining!

    Instructions

    1. Melt the butter.
    2. Whisk in the flour and let cook until golden – add the mustard, cayenne, and salt and pepper.
    3. In a separate pan, melt the tablespoon of butter and sauté the shallots.
    4. Slowly whisk in the warm cream on low heat. Then add the sherry/marsala.
    5. Remove from heat and add crabmeat.
    6. Add minced shallot and 1 cup of cheddar cheese, saving a 1/4 cup for the top.
    7. Add the chives, saving a few for the top.
    8. Put the mixture in a generously buttered casserole dish and top with breadcrumbs mixed with cheddar and chives.
    9. Drizzle with butter on top and bake at 375º until golden brown and bubbling.

    I love to freeze leftover biscuits and use them as bread crumbs for this recipe. They are extra savory and delicious!
