Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F and place a rack in the center. Warm your baking dish in the oven.

Notes
• Drain artichokes and crab meat thoroughly to avoid excess moisture in the dip. • Adjust salt only after blending cheeses as you may need less. • Baking in a shallow dish helps achieve a crispy top. • Lemon zest brightens the dish.
