Make this gooey cheesy dip with real crab meat and plenty of healthy spinach for a special occasion. Three types of cheese—cream, Parmesan, and Monterey Jack—infuse this appetizer with rich flavor, while a crispy panko topping adds incredible texture and makes for a stunning presentation. The dip is first cooked in a saucepan on the stovetop, then baked in the oven until golden brown, and served immediately hot with crackers for dipping and enjoying. Your guests will be delighted.
