If you prefer casual dining in the summer, try this scrumptious entree that’s crunchy, creamy and delightfully rich. Or serve at your next party, cut into smaller appetizer-size slices. —Teri Rasey, Cadillac, Michigan

Ingredients

  • 1 loaf (16 ounces) French bread
  • 1/4 cup butter, cubed
  • 4 plum tomatoes, peeled and finely chopped, divided
  • 1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 teaspoons minced fresh cilantro
  • 2 packages (8 ounces each) imitation crabmeat
  • 3/4 cup ricotta cheese
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 2 cups shredded Italian cheese blend, divided

Directions

  1. Cut bread in half horizontally; hollow out top and bottom, leaving 1-in. shells. Crumble removed bread; set aside.
  2. In a large skillet, melt butter over medium heat; add half of the tomatoes. Add the jalapeno, garlic and cilantro; cook and stir for 4 minutes. Remove from the heat.
  3. In a large bowl, combine the crab, ricotta and sour cream. Stir in the tomato mixture, reserved bread crumbs and 1 cup cheese blend. Spoon into bread shells.
  4. Place on an ungreased baking sheet. Bake at 375° for 15 minutes. Top with remaining cheese blend and tomatoes. Bake 5-7 minutes longer or until cheese is melted.
Peppers (Hot)
Wear disposable gloves when cutting hot peppers; the oils can burn skin. Avoid touching your face.
