Spinach Artichoke, Crab Rangoon and French Onion Spreads on Wasa® Crispbreads

(11)

Recipe Intro From annafgass

Let’s forget about the store-bought dip. We’re stepping up our dip game this holiday season with 3 delicious spreadable options paired with Wasa® Crispbreads. Caramelized onions spiked with white wine and mixed with Gruyère for a cheesy rich taste make an amazing French Onion Spread. Ever ordered Crab Rangoon off a Chinese take-out menu?  Little fried wontons filled with cream cheese and crab. We decided to take that delicious, creamy center, make it hot and perfectly spreadable. Spinach and Artichokes are the classic dipping pair.  Our version has coarsely chopped artichokes and fresh spinach that creates a spread that is filling and delicious.
