Quick and Yummy Appetizer: Crab and Artichoke Dip

anniemade // Quick and easy appetizer Crab and Artichoke Dip Recipe

Sometimes, I think of a recipe, buy the ingredients, and just completely forget to make it.

Such is the case with this Crab and Artichoke Dip. My dear husband was so kind to remind me that the can of crab and of artichoke hearts we'd bought months and months ago are still around and thankfully- still good to eat.

And so our Saturday dinner was this delicious and easy appetizer: Crab and Artichoke Dip. Simple, gluten-free, and low-carb (if you watch the chip count) - I invite you to take part in this greatness for your next party or appropriate dip serving moment. You could also use this as a base dip and add spinach, take out crab, whatever tickles your fancy- it's a solid base.

Ingredients (Fills a small pyrex pan // Serves 4)

• 1 14oz can of artichoke hearts, chopped into quarters
