4. Bake for 15 minutes or until hot. Top with additional sauce.
5. Garnish with thyme.

Hints:

1. Pre-cooked shrimp or smoked shrimp can be substituted for crab, lobster can be used more of an upscale cocktail party.
2. Wrap these ingredients into Mission® Corn Tortillas and cover with Mission® Salsa Con Queso or prepared enchilada sauce for cheesy seafood enchiladas.

Notes & Comments: This was a really easy recipe to throw together and it went over wonderfully.  I used flaked crab from the seafood counter.
