Ingredients

  • Nonstick cooking spray

  • 1 cup frozen whole kernel corn, thawed

  • 1 cup chopped red sweet pepper

  • 2 teaspoon olive oil

  • 1 cup cooked crabmeat or one 6-ounce can crabmeat, drained, flaked, and cartilage removed

  • 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese with jalapeño chile peppers (4 ounces)

  • cup mayonnaise

  • ¼ cup sour cream

  • ¼ cup sliced green onions (2)

  • ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

  • Broken tostada shells, toasted baguette-style French bread slices, and/or crackers

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F. Lightly coat a 1-quart quiche dish or shallow baking dish with cooking spray; set aside. In a shallow baking pan combine corn and sweet pepper. Drizzle with olive oil; toss to coat. Roast, uncovered, about 20 minutes or until vegetables start to brown, stirring occasionally. Remove from oven and let cool.

  2. Meanwhile, in a medium bowl stir together crabmeat, cheese, mayonnaise, sour cream, green onions, and black pepper. Stir in roasted vegetables. Transfer mixture to prepared dish. (To serve today, omit Step 3 and continue as directed in Step 4.)

  3. Cover with plastic wrap; chill for up to 24 hours.

  4. Preheat oven to 375°F. If chilled, remove plastic wrap. Bake about 20 minutes or until bubbly around edges. Serve with toasted broken tostada shells, baguette slices and/or crackers.
