Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb fresh asparagus
- 8 oz cream cheese
- 1 cup sour cream
- 0.5 cup mayonnaise
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tsp hot sauce
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 0.25 tsp black pepper, freshly ground
- 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or Monterey Jack)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Trim the woody ends from the asparagus and chop the spears into small, bite-sized pieces.
Bring a medium-sized pot of water to a boil. Blanch the chopped asparagus for 2–3 minutes until bright green and tender-crisp. Drain and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, sour cream, mayonnaise, Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, lemon juice, hot sauce, salt, and black pepper. Mix until smooth and well blended.
Gently fold in the blanched asparagus pieces, ensuring they are evenly coated with the creamy mixture.
Transfer the mixture to a greased baking dish or oven-safe serving dish. Spread it out evenly.
Sprinkle the shredded cheese over the top of the dip.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18–20 minutes or until the dip is hot and bubbly and the cheese on top is golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving.
Serve warm with crackers, tortilla chips, or fresh vegetable sticks for dipping. Enjoy!
