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

    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.

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.
