ABC Dip (Artichoke, Brie, Crab) for the 1st Day of Christmas #SundayFunday

Happy 1st Day of Christmas.  No I don't have a Partridge recipe to share with you today but I do have a wonderful, creamy and cheesy seafood dip recipe that is perfect for your next gathering during this 12 Days of Christmas.

ABC Dip

The Sunday Funday Bloggers are sharing NYE ideas today.......Stacy of Food Lust People Love is hosting this month and asked us to join her in sharing NYE foods and traditions saying......
"It's party time - or maybe not. How do you celebrate New Year's Eve? Special dishes and Champagne cocktails? Comfort food and hot toddies? Whether you stay up till midnight or turn in early, your recipe and post should be an ode to your family's New Year's Eve traditions."

We don't really have any New Years Eve Traditions.  When we were young and working as street cops we worked every NYE and often were kept over since we were on afternoons and our shift ended at Midnight.  

When we got older and went to day shift, we usually spent NYE with the kids sometimes making it until midnight but usually not.  

Now....Frank usually stays awake until midnight but I seldom do.  This year we are having our neighbors over for dinner on NYE and then we will visit and probably play some games.  I don't have any idea if they stay up until midnight.  They are all around ourr age so if they are anything like me...probably not LOL.

But while they are here I am going to have some snacks available and one of those snacks is going to be this wonderful crab dip served on crackers or some crusty bread.  It is cheesy, creamy and delicious. The perfect ending to what has been a very trying year for us.

Let's see what the others are serving this New Years Eve......


ABC Dip

This dip is as easy as ABC.  Chop some onion and saute it in a little olive oil.  Add some wine and let it cook off then add some cream and Artichokes. Cook and stir for a minute and then start stirring in some Brie cheese.  When the cheese is melted remove from the heat and stir in some Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, lemon zest and juice and a dash of hot sauce.  

Crab

Set the sauce aside.  Drain and pick through a container of lump crab meat and spread it in the bottom of a 1 qt. casserole that has been treated with olive oil spray.  Pour the artichoke, brie mixture over the crab meat.  Sprinkle some seasoned bread crumbs over the top and bake until bubbly and the bread crumbs are browned.

This dip is sure to make your NYE memorable and tasty.   Here's to a better, healthy, happy and prosperous 2022.
