Crab Dip Gratin

Features:
    Cuisine:

    This is a very rich crab dip which goes over well at cocktail parties. I like to serve it with a nice mild cracker, such as a Bremner Wafer, but it also goes well with small garlic toast rounds, or toast points if you want to go old school.
    use either Noilly Prat or Dolin vermouth for the vermouth in this recipe. If you don't want to use vermouth you could just use a dry white wine instead.
    Do not use the "whipped" or "soft" type of cream cheese which comes in tubs. You need the real cream cheese which comes in a brick for this recipe. Also, please use best quality parmesan here, not the stuff in the green shaker can.
    This recipe can be doubled or even tripled.

    3
    Done

    Melt the Butter in a 2 Quart, Heavy-Bottomed Pan. Add the Shallots, Cayenne and Pepper and Saut Over Medium Heat For 5 Minutes. Add the Garlic and Saut Until Fragrant - Only About 30 Seconds.

    Taste the Dip - the Cheeses Add a Fair Amount of Salt, So I Don't Usually Add Any More. but If You Like You Could Add Some Salt at This Point.
