- Ingredients:
- 10
- Yields:
-
1 appetizer
ingredients
- 4 (8 ounce) packages of softened cream cheese (32 ounces in all)
- 1⁄2 lb chopped crabmeat, and or 1/2 lb chopped shrimp
- 4 green onions, cleaned, peeled and chopped including 3 inches of the stems
- 1 teaspoon garlic salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1⁄4 cup dried chopped onion
- 1⁄3 cup mayonnaise
- 2 teaspoons lemon juice
- 1 loaf bread (round, unsliced, 10 to 12 inches in diameter)
- 1 egg (beaten)
directions
- Preheat over to 300 degrees F, rack in the middle position.
- Unwrap cream chees, put it in a large microwave-safe bowl, and heat it for 40 seconds on HIGH in the microwave. Turn the bowl and keep heating it in 20-second increments until it's soft and you can stir it.
- Add the remaining ingredients and stir it all up.
- Cut the top off the loaf of bread and set it aside to use later. Hollow out the bread with a spoon, but be careful to leave at least half-inch of bread on the bottom and the sides. Brush the inside of the loaf with the beaten egg and pop it in the oven for 5 to 10 minutes until the egg had dried. Then fill the loaf with the seafood mixture and put the top back on.
- Wrap the loaf tightly in two layers of foil, keeping the top up. Set the loaf on a cookie sheet and bake for 2 hours at 300 degrees F.
- To serve, take off the top and invite your guests to dip bread squares, crackers, or vegetable sticks.
