This was a hit! I used 2%yogurt instead of sour cream and light mayo, and omitted the jalapeño butter amped up the chipotle, and followed everything else. No leftovers from my dinner party!
I made this as a sauce without crab to put on tacos etc. Very good. Great flavors.
Made as written; halved all ingredients and only used 8 oz crab (still expensive!). Was delicious, made with the gruyere and served as a dip with crackers. Highly recommend!
