In Maryland, we stayed at a hotel that sent guests home with a crab dip recipe and a spice pouch. Now I’ve made my own dip that rekindles memories of that trip. —Kristina Wenner, Jamison, Pennsylvania

Ingredients

2 tablespoons olive oil
1/3 cup finely chopped sweet onion
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 package (8 ounces) softened cream cheese, cubed
1 package (5.2 ounces) Boursin garlic and fine herbs cheese
1/4 cup 2% milk
1/4 cup half-and-half cream
1/4 cup white wine or chicken broth
1 tablespoon seafood seasoning
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon Louisiana-style hot sauce
1/8 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes, optional
2 cans (6 ounces each) lump crabmeat, drained and picked over
1 package (10 ounces) frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed dry
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
Blue tortilla chips

Directions

In a large nonstick skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Add onion and garlic; cook 3 minutes. Stir in cream cheese and Boursin until melted. Add milk, cream and wine, stirring constantly.
Add seafood seasoning, Worcestershire, hot sauce and red pepper flakes. Stir in crab, spinach and cheddar cheese until cheese melts and mixture is bubbly. Serve warm with blue tortilla chips.

Editor’s Note: Boursin garlic and fine herbs cheese, sold in a 5.2-ounce package, has a firmer texture than the spreadable cheese product.
