For this appetizer:

Add the mayonnaise, garlic, horseradish, and crab meat to the mixing bowl. Mix for 1-2 minutes, just until incorporated.

Roughly chop the artichoke hearts.

Add the artichokes, salt, pepper, spinach, parmesan and first portion of fontina. Mix for several more minutes.

Spoon the mixture into one large baking dish or several small dishes.

Top with the second portion of fontina and the bread crumbs. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the cheese is bubbling and the top is golden brown.
