--------  ------------  --------------------------------
   1      pound         maryland crab meat
   8      ounces        cream cheese
   6      ounces        gruyere grated cheese
     1/2  cup           milk
     1/4  teaspoon      lemon and pepper seasoning
                        salt -- to taste
                        pepper -- to taste
     1/4  cup           dry sherry
   1      loaf          french bread -- cut into 1 to 1
                        -- 1/2" cubes

Preparation:

1. Remove all cartilage from crab meat. 2. Combine cheeses, milk., seasonings and sherry in fondue pot, set on low; stir until blended and smooth. 3. Add crab meat; heat, stirring occasionally, until hot and bubbly, 5 to 10 minutes. 4. Spear cubes of bread with a fondue fork and swirl with a figure-eight motion to coat. (If fondue thickens while standing, stir in a little additional milk or sherry.) NOTE: This is a great ice-breaker for timid quests! If you do not have a fondue pot, mixture may be made in a double boiler and either served from that or transferred to a chafing dish.
