Hot Pimento Cheese Crab Dip

This is my variation of a Paula Deen recipe.  This pimento cheese dip would be great even without the crab if you aren't a fan of seafood, but the crab adds a nice touch.  Serve it hot with crackers.

Hot Pimento Cheese Crab Dip

1/4 cup (2 oz) brie
1/4 cup (2 oz) cream cheese, softened
1 cup sharp cheddar cheese
1 cup pepper jack cheese
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1/2 tbsp hot sauce
1/2 lb lump crab meat, chopped small
1/2 small onion, grated and drained
1/4 cup pimentos, undrained
dash of salt and pepper
In a food processor, mix cream cheese, brie, grated onion, mayonnaise, salt/pepper, and hot sauce until well blended.  Add 1/2 cup cheddar, 1/2 cup pepper jack, pimentos, and crab to food processor and mix well.  Remove from food processor and place in medium bowl, stir in rest of cheddar and pepper jack.  Place in well greased shallow baking dish (I used a pie plate).  Bake at 350 degrees for 20-25 minutes until hot and bubbly.  Serve with crackers.
