Crab Dip Mornay – 35-Minute Recipe
A rich, cheesy crab dip that blends creamy half‑and‑half with habanero cheddar and colby jack for a subtle kick. The Cajun‑seasoned sauce coats generous chunks of lump crab meat, then finishes under the broiler for a golden, melty top, making it perfect for Super Bowl parties or any gathering.
