Instructions

1. Preheat oven: Heat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it’s ready for baking.
2. Mix ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the crab meat, artichoke hearts, cream cheese, mayonnaise, sour cream, mozzarella, Parmesan, garlic, lemon juice, Old Bay, and black pepper until well blended.
3. Prepare bread: Carefully hollow out the French bread, leaving about a 1-inch shell, and tear the removed bread into pieces for dipping.
4. Fill bread: Spoon the crab and artichoke mixture into the hollowed-out bread shell, packing it in tightly.
5. Bake: Place the filled bread on a baking sheet and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the dip is bubbly and the top is golden brown.
6. Serve warm: Let the dip cool for a few minutes before serving with the reserved bread pieces and additional dippers like crackers or veggies.

The dip is irresistibly creamy with chunks of sweet crab and tangy artichokes, all hugged by that toasty bread bowl. Try serving it straight from the bread for a show-stopping appetizer that’s as fun to eat as it is delicious.
