- 3 ounces Cream Cheese
- 1 cup Heavy Cream
- 5 ounces Sour Cream
- 4 ounces Mayonnaise
- 1/4 teaspoon Cayenne Pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon Kosher Salt
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground Black Pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon Old Bay Seasoning
- 6 ounces Artichoke Hearts drained, cut into 3/4-inch pieces

Place minced bread and cream cheese into a mixing bowl.
Pour heavy cream into the bowl and over the other ingredients. Mix the ingredients together evenly combined.
Add sour cream, mayonnaise, cayenne pepper, salt, pepper and old bay seasoning. Stir the ingredients together until evenly combined.
Add prepared artichoke hearts, crabcake mix and crab meat. Gently “fold” into the other ingredients being careful not to break up the large lump pieces of crab. (This can be done up to here in advance. Store in a tightly sealed container, in the refrigerator, until ready to use.)
Brush each slice of baguette evenly on both sides with olive oil.
Place slices onto a flat grill or into a pan set over medium heat and cook until the slices have become crispy and lightly golden. Remove from heat and slice each piece in 1/2 at a slight angle. Set aside.
Heat prepared crab and artichoke dip in sauté pan set over medium heat, stirring frequently until it is warm throughout.
Place hot crab and artichoke dip into the small serving bowl.
Sprinkle toasted buttered breadcrumbs evenly over the crab and artichoke dip.
Place the bowl of crab dip and the grilled bread slices onto a serving platter
Sprinkle chopped parsley over crab dip and bread and serve.
