Method

  1. In an electric fondue pot or saucepan, melt the cream cheese and wine together over low heat. Stir constantly until smooth, which should take about 5 minutes.

  2. In a separate bowl, coat the Swiss cheese with cornstarch by tossing them together.

  3. Stir the coated Swiss cheese into the wine mixture along with the crabmeat, milk, Worcestershire sauce, and parsley. Continue stirring until the cheese is smooth and the crab is heated thoroughly. This should take about 5 to 10 minutes.

  4. If you are not already using a fondue pot, transfer the mixture to one, or use a chafing dish to keep it warm.

  5. If fresh crabmeat is not available, you can use 7 ounces of canned crabmeat. Make sure to drain the canned meat, flake it, and remove any cartilage.
