1/3 cup Parmesan Cheese, Freshly Grated
1 tablespoon Fresh Dill, Finely Minced

1 cup monterey jack cheese, shredded
1/3 cup Parmesan Cheese, Freshly Grated (For Top)
Fresh Dill To Garnish

Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Butter a 1 to 1-1/4 quart oven safe baking dish and set aside.
In a small pan add olive oil and shallot. Sauté over medium-high heat until shallot is softened and lightly brown. Remove from heat to cool.
Beat together sautéed shallots, cream cheese, mayonnaise, sour cream, 1/3 cup parmesan cheese, shredded monterey jack, dill, lemon juice, hot sauce, and salt until well combined and creamy. Fold in crab meat.
Spread crab mixture evenly into prepared baking dish and sprinkle with remaining 1/3 cup parmesan cheese.
Bake for 20-30 minutes until lightly brown on top and bubbly.

Serve with toasted baguette slices and crackers.
