For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a finely chopped shallot or green onion to the crab mixture. If you prefer a spicier dip, increase the amount of horseradish or add a pinch of cayenne pepper. To prevent the bread bowl from becoming too soggy, you can lightly toast it in the oven before filling it with the hot crab dip. Leftover dip can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave before serving. For a visually appealing presentation, garnish the finished dip with a sprinkle of fresh parsley or chives.
