simple and good......dont ask about the quantity of the ingredients.....this famous St Michaels, MD restaurant would not give me the amounts.......only what was added...
1 lb. prefer backfin or lump....(de-shelled if need be)
real butter..NO fake stuff
cream cheese
orange juice with pulp/or white wine.....NOT BOTH
fresh parsley
pimento
mozzarella cheese shredded
SMOKED provolone cheese shredded
Old Bay or JO Spice seasoning
fresh squeezed lemon
Ok.....melt butter...melt cream cheese in pan then add orange juice or white wine (like a 1/4 cup) and pimento...before it starts to thicken.. pour over crabmeat....try NOT to break up lumped crabmeat...let chill in fridge for a couple of hours....preheat oven....NO MICROWAVE to 325 and put in oven so butter/cream cheese mix starts to liquify..gently stir so all crabmeat is covered......now light sprinkle of Old Bay or JO Spice seasoning.....turn oven on broil....and cover with both shredded cheeses...once cheese starts to bubble remove and let cool....when dish is almost cool to touch remix all and top with parsley and fresh squeezed lemon juice.....
great with round bread bowls or good crackers..
