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.

For a little zip with a bayou flair,combine 1# fresh crabmeat, 16 oz. softened cream cheese ...add some of your favorite creole mustard, 1 tsp. cajun seasoning, some thinly sliced scallions from the garden, a splash of white wine and fresh parsley. Shape into ball and roll into toasted pecans.
Chill for at least two hours.
Serve with water crackers or toasted pita triangles.
We do this with those little mini shrimp. Kind of our go to when needing to take something to a party.
