"Two Southern favorites—hot crab dip and pimiento cheese—are better than one, especially when they are combined to create a delightfully creamy appetizer. Making the spread couldn’t be simpler: The ingredients are quickly mixed together, then it takes less than a half-hour to bake until golden, bubbling, and ready to serve with chips and crudités. A pre-dinner winner, if ever there was one...."
