Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 can (14 ounces) canned artichoke hearts
- 8 ounces cream cheese
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Drain the canned artichoke hearts and roughly chop them into small pieces. Set them aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, sour cream, and mayonnaise. Stir until smooth and well blended.
Add the grated Parmesan cheese, shredded mozzarella cheese, minced garlic, lemon juice, salt, and pepper to the bowl. Mix thoroughly.
Fold in the chopped artichoke hearts, making sure they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
If you like a bit of spice, stir in the optional red pepper flakes for a little kick.
Transfer the mixture to an oven-safe baking dish and spread it out evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20–25 minutes, or until the dip is hot and bubbly, and the top is lightly golden brown.
Remove the dip from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
Serve warm with crackers, tortilla chips, sliced baguette, or fresh vegetables for dipping. Enjoy!
