A delightful appetizer featuring creamy crab and cheese, perfect for any gathering.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Ensure the oven is fully preheated to achieve even cooking.
In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, fresh crabmeat, finely chopped onion, and prepared horseradish until well mixed.
Mix gently to avoid breaking up the crabmeat too much.
Transfer the mixture to a baking dish and spread it evenly.
Use a spatula to smooth the top for even baking.
Sprinkle the sliced almonds evenly over the top of the mixture.
Press the almonds lightly into the mixture to help them adhere.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, or until the top is golden and bubbly.
Keep an eye on the dish to prevent over-browning.
Serve warm on crispy toast points or your choice of crackers.
Arrange the toast points around the dish for an appealing presentation.
