Easy crab appetizer

Dave Durian, our favorite wake-up guy on WBAL radio, shared an incredibly simple crab dish with me this morning when I was on the morning show. I, um, didn’t ask if I could pass it on, so I hope he doesn’t mind. But it’s perfect for any get-togethers over the Fourth.

There are no measurements, but I think you’ll get the idea. Take a block of cream cheese and soften it to room temperature. Add a can of crabmeat. Mix gently and shape into a ball. Top with cocktail sauce and serve with crackers.

Dave said it never fails to impress guests. I can’t wait to make it. I hope we all don’t end up at the same party with the same appetizer. Let me know if you have any simple recipes or variations of this one. Enjoy.
