Ingredients

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350° F.
  • Use two forks to shred hearts of palm into small pieces. Set aside
  • Beat cream cheese is a mixer.
  • Add in mayonnaise, Old Bay seasoning, lemon juice, dulse flakes, hot sauce, garlic powder, ground mustard, and smoked paprika. Beat again just until combined.
  • Fold in shredded hearts of palm and ¼ cup vegan cheddar cheese.
  • Spread mixture evenly in a 12" cast iron skillet or a 2 quart baking dish.
  • Top with remaining vegan cheddar cheese. Bake 25-30 minutes or until hot and bubbly and cheese has melted. Can put under the broil for 2-3 minutes if desired but watch carefully.
  • Sprinkle additional old bay seasoning on top and green onions if desired.
  • Serve with veggies like baby carrots and celery, crackers or crunchy bread on the side.

Alternative Method : Crockpot

  • If you wish to make this in the crockpot instead of the oven, repeat steps 2-5 but in step 5 add all the cheese. Place into a mini crockpot and turn on low 30 minutes before serving. Watch carefully to ensure it doesn't burn if it's been on longer than 90 minutes. Stir occasionally
