Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 14 oz Artichoke hearts (canned, drained, and chopped)
- 8 oz Cream cheese (softened)
- 0.5 cup Mayonnaise
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese (grated)
- 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Hot sauce (optional, adjust to taste)
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, mayonnaise, and lemon juice. Mix until smooth and well combined.
Fold in the chopped artichoke hearts, grated Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, hot sauce (if using), salt, and black pepper. Stir well to ensure all ingredients are evenly distributed.
Transfer the mixture into a baking dish or an oven-safe ramekin, spreading it evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20–25 minutes, or until the top is golden and the spread is bubbling around the edges.
Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve warm with crackers, toasted baguette slices, or fresh cut vegetables for dipping.
