8 oz. cream cheese, at room temperature
1 cup mayonnaise
1 cup chunky tomato salsa
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1 pound fresh crab meat, picked over to remove cartilage and flaked
hot red pepper sauce to taste
1/3 cup fresh bread crumbs, preferably from day-old French or Italian bread

Makes About 4 Cups

1. Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 350° F. Lightly butter a 1-quart round baking dish.

2. With a rubber spatula, mash the cream cheese, mayonnaise, salsa and Worcestershire sauce in a medium bowl until combined. Stir in the crabmeat. Season with hot pepper sauce. Spread in a baking dish. (The dip can be prepared up to 8 hours head, covered tightly with plastic wrap, and refrigerated.)

3. Sprinkle the breadcrumbs over the dip. Bake until the dip is bubbling -- about 30 minutes or slightly longer if refrigerated. Serve hot.
