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

Cut bread in half horizontally; hollow out top and bottom, leaving 1-in. shells. Crumble removed bread; set aside.
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.
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.
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.
