Baked Crab and Cream Cheese Dip

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

In a medium bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, milk, and horseradish. Mix thoroughly until completely smooth. (Let the cream cheese come to room temperature first — this prevents lumps in your dip.)

Fold in the minced onion and crabmeat, then season with salt and white pepper to taste.

Taste and adjust the seasonings — you want a good balance of richness from the cream cheese and brightness from the horseradish.

Spoon the mixture into a shallow baking dish and scatter the sliced almonds evenly over the top.

Bake for 15-20 minutes until heated through and the almonds are golden.

Serve immediately with crackers or toasted baguette slices.
