Ingredients

1 can (11 oz) refrigerated Pillsbury™ Original French Bread
1 package (3 oz) cream cheese, softened
2 tablespoons mayonnaise or salad dressing
1 tablespoon white wine Worcestershire sauce
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1 small clove garlic, finely chopped
1 cup shredded Asiago cheese (4 oz)
1 can (14 oz) artichoke hearts, drained, chopped
1 can (6 oz) crabmeat, well drained
1 jar (2 oz) diced pimientos, drained
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley

Directions

1

Heat oven to 350°F. Bake French bread as directed on can. Cool 30 minutes.
2

In medium microwavable bowl, mix remaining ingredients except parsley. Set aside.
3

Cut 1 inch from top of cooled loaf. Cut top into 1-inch pieces; place in serving basket. With sharp knife, cut around inside of loaf, leaving 1/2-inch-thick sides. Remove bread, leaving inside of loaf hollow. Cut removed bread into 1-inch pieces; place in serving basket.
4

Microwave cream cheese mixture on Medium (50%) 3 to 4 minutes, stirring twice, until hot. Spoon hot mixture into hollowed-out loaf. Sprinkle with parsley. Serve spread with bread pieces and/or crackers.

Expert Tips

tip 1
Instead of Asiago cheese, try Parmesan instead.
tip 2
White wine Worcestershire sauce is milder in flavor and lighter in color than regular Worcestershire sauce. In a pinch, the regular variety will work in this recipe.
