Instructions
Preheat oven to 400˚F. In a small skillet over medium heat, add olive oil, red pepper, and scallion whites. Sauté for a few minutes to soften vegetables.
Add sauteed vegetables to a medium bowl along with cream cheese, sour cream, cheeses, and spices. Stir together well. Then fold in artichoke hearts and lump crab meat.
Transfer the dip to a 2-quart (or 8×8) baking dish and bake for 40-45 minutes until the center is bubbling and the dip is browned in spots on top.
Garnish the dip with scallion greens, minced, and serve while warm with crusty bread, pita chips, or pretzel chips.
Leftover dip keeps fine in the fridge for a few days and reheats best in a 350˚F oven.
