Crispy Crab Appetizer

1 pound fresh crab meat
3 slices of white bread, crust removed
1 egg beaten
1 tablespoon Hellmann's mayonnaise
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon Old Bay Seasoning
1 tablespoon parsley

Preparation :

Make breadcrumbs in food processor so they are chopped up fine. In a large bowl, mix together egg, mayonnaise, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, parsley, and Old Bay seasoning.

Add breadcrumbs and crab meat and mix by hand to avoid breaking up too many of the lumps. You may need to break up the very large lumps however so the crab balls will stay together.

Shape into 24 balls and fry in batches in hot oil until golden brown, turning once. Drain on paper towels. Serve with your favorite sauce.

• Dip:
  

  10 oz frozen spinach, defrosted
  8 oz. frozen artichoke hearts
  3 oz. cream cheese, softened
  8 oz. sour cream
  1 cup shaved or shredded Parmesan cheese (not grated powder)
  1/4 tsp. garlic powder
  1/4 tsp. onion powder
  Salt and pepper (to taste)
  
  Mini phyllo shells (in the grocery store freezer)
  
  Directions:
  1- Squeeze the liquid out of the spinach, place in a large bowl.
  2- Dice the artichoke hearts into small pieces while they're still somewhat frozen (it's easier to cut frozen). Toss in with the spinach.
  3- Add the cream cheese. Using a spoon, smush the cream cheese into the artichokes and spinach until well combined.
  4- Add the sour cream, Parmesan cheese, and seasonings. Stir well to combine.
  5- Transfer to an oven safe dish. Refrigerate at least 1 hour (can be done overnight too).
  6- Heat the oven to 350.
  7- Heat in the oven for 10-15 minutes, until just warm and beginning to melt. (If you're using it as just a dip keep it in until bubbly and hot.)
  8- While it's in the oven, place the mini phyllo shells on a cookie sheet.
  9- Remove from the oven. Using a tablespoon, fill each shell with dip.
  10- Heat in the oven for 5-6 minutes, until filling and shells are hot and golden.
