Ingredients
8 oz cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/2 cup sour cream
1 can (14 oz) artichoke hearts, drained and chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (plus more for garnish)
Instructions
1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Drain the artichoke hearts and roughly chop them.
3. In a mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, mayonnaise, sour cream, minced garlic, salt, and pepper until smooth.
4. Fold in the chopped artichokes, half of the mozzarella, and half of the Parmesan cheese.
5. Transfer the mixture to a greased 8×8 or 9-inch round baking dish.
6. Sprinkle the remaining mozzarella and Parmesan on top.
7. Bake for 25–30 minutes or until the top is golden and bubbly.
8. Optionally, broil for 2–3 minutes to get a deeper golden crust.
9. Remove from oven and garnish with chopped parsley.
10. Serve warm with toasted baguette, crackers, or veggie sticks.
Notes
Make sure the cream cheese is softened to ensure a smooth mix.
Drain the artichokes thoroughly to avoid a watery dip.
For a golden cheesy crust, broil the dip briefly at the end.
