Preheat your oven to 375Β°F (190Β°C).
Drain the canned artichoke hearts and chop them into small, bite-sized pieces.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, mayonnaise, grated Parmesan cheese, shredded mozzarella cheese, minced garlic, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Mix until smooth.
Fold in the chopped artichoke hearts, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
Transfer the mixture to a baking dish (preferably an 8x8-inch or similar size) and spread it out evenly.
If using panko breadcrumbs, sprinkle them on top and drizzle with olive oil for a crispy finish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the dip is hot and bubbling around the edges and the top is golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve warm with crackers, sliced baguette, pita chips, or fresh vegetables for dipping.
