APPETIZERS Cucumber Cups Stuffed with Spicy Crab
Jalapeño Popper Dip • 6-8 slices of bacon, diced and cooked crispy • 2 8-oz packages of cream cheese, soft • 1 cup of mayonnaise • 4-6 jalapenos, chopped and deseeded. The seeds will make it fiery hot. • 1 cup of cheddar cheese, shredded • ½ cup of mozzarella cheese, shredded • ¼ cup diced green onion
• 3 long cucumbers • ¼ cup sour cream • ¼ cup cream cheese, softened • ¾ cup crab meat, excess water removed • 1 tsp hot sauce (Tabasco) • 1 tsp brown mustard • Salt and pepper to taste • 1 tbsp. minced green onion • Garnish with chili powder or paprika if desired Remove the peel from the cucumbers using a vegetable peeler. Cut the cucumber into 2 inch slices. Using a small melon baller, scoop out most of the inside. You want to leave the walls and a thick portion of the bottom intact. In a bowl, combine the sour cream and the cream cheese with a fork until well combined. Add the remaining ingredients and stir until combined. Fill each of the cucumber cups with the crab dip. Refrigerate until ready to serve. Serve within 2 hours of making.
Topping: • 1 cup of crushed Ritz crackers • ½ cup parmesan cheese • ½ stick of butter, melted Preheat oven to 350. Combine all of the ingredients into a medium bowl. Stir well. Transfer to an oven proof dish. The size of the dish depends on how thick the dip is. The thicker the dip the longer it may need to warm up. I used this stoneware dish that is round and measures 12 inches across. My dip is usually about an inch thick. Combine the topping ingredients and sprinkle all over the top of the dip. Bake the dip for 20-30 minutes or until bubbly.
