A creamy dip full of artichokes, parmesan and cream cheese. This hot artichoke dip packs a punch of flavor and is a pan of baked bubbly, cheesy goodness that your guests will love. Or you don’t have to share, I won’t tell.
There’s just something about a cheesy dip that people just gravitate to at gatherings. This dip is no exception. Here are some other great hot and cheesy dip recipes:
One of my favorite flavors with artichokes is lemon. The citrus notes pair so perfectly with them. There was a raved about sub special at a local restaurant that had fried artichokes and fried lemon. Yes, you read that right. It was amazing. Sadly, the restaurant closed, but I will never forget that sandwich.
This recipe contains a bit of lemon juice to zest up the artichoke dip.
Recipe Tips
Artichokes:
This recipe uses artichoke hearts from a can. Drain them really well and chop them to your desired consistency before adding to the dip. These are different than marinated artichoke hearts that are in oil.
Parmesan cheese:
Use freshly grated parmesan cheese in this recipe, not the kind from a bottle or can.
Baking dish:
A 1 quart size baking dish was the perfect size for this recipe.
Feeding a crowd:
If you are feeding a crowd or serving this at gathering, you may want to double (or even triple) the recipe.
Prefer a cold dip?
This dip also tastes really great before baking. You cold easily serve as a cold artichoke dip instead of heating it up.
FAQs
Yes, make ahead per the instructions except for baking. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days and pop in the oven when ready to eat.
Crostini or tortilla chips are my favorite, but this dip also goes well with a variety of crackers or even veggies like carrots, celery or peppers.
