Ingredients

Scale

Dip Ingredients

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup mayonnaise
  • 4–8 oz mozzarella cheese, shredded
  • 1 cup parmesan cheese, grated
  • 14 oz marinated artichoke hearts, drained and chopped
  • 1/2 small white onion, finely chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced

To Serve

  • Crostini, bread, crackers, or chips for dipping

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the dip to a perfect golden finish.
  2. Mix Creamy Base: In a mixing bowl, blend the softened cream cheese and mayonnaise together until smooth and creamy, forming the rich base of the dip.
  3. Add Cheeses and Veggies: Stir in the shredded mozzarella, grated parmesan, chopped marinated artichoke hearts, finely chopped white onion, and minced garlic until all ingredients are evenly combined.
  4. Prepare for Baking: Spread the dip mixture evenly into a baking dish, ensuring a uniform layer for even cooking.
  5. Bake the Dip: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the top becomes golden brown and bubbly, indicating the dip is hot and ready.
  6. Optional Broil: For an extra crispy and browned top, broil the dip for 1-2 minutes, watching carefully to prevent burning.
  7. Serve: Remove from oven and serve immediately while hot, accompanied by crostini, bread, crackers, or chips for dipping.

Notes

  • You can adjust the amount of mozzarella cheese to your preference between 4 to 8 oz for desired cheesiness.
  • For a sharper flavor, use freshly grated parmesan cheese.
  • If you prefer a smoother texture, puree the artichoke hearts before mixing.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheat before serving.
  • To make it gluten-free, serve with gluten-free crackers or vegetable sticks.
