Artichoke Dip
Description
Artichoke Dip combines canned artichoke hearts with a blend of creamy dairy ingredients including sour cream, mayonnaise, and softened cream cheese. Fresh garlic and Parmesan cheese bring a savory depth, while dill adds herbal notes. The mixture is baked in a greased dish until it bubbles and the top is sprinkled with more Parmesan and dill for a flavorful crust. The result is a smooth, richly textured dip with a flavorful balance of tangy and cheesy tones and tender pieces of artichoke throughout.
The dip’s warm, creamy consistency makes it a satisfying starter or snack when paired with crackers, bread, or fresh vegetables for dipping. It holds heat well, allowing the cheeses to meld and the garlic to infuse the dip with aroma and taste.
Variations include adding spinach to create a spinach artichoke dip, or swapping ingredients like sour cream for Greek yogurt or incorporating mozzarella cheese for a different texture or flavor. These changes affect creaminess, nutrition, and stretch the recipe’s versatility while maintaining its core character.
Ingredients
- 8 ounce can artichoke hearts (not marinated), drained and chopped
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 8 ounces cream cheese , softened
- 1 1/4 cups Parmesan Cheese freshly grated
- 1 clove garlic , minced
- dried dill weed , to taste (fresh or dried)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- To a mixing bowl add sour cream, mayo, cream cheese, garlic and 1 cup of parmesan cheese. Combine until smooth.
- Stir in chopped artichoke hearts and a little bit of dill weed, to taste.
- Place in a greased baking dish (most pan sizes around 8x8 in or a little smaller will work. You could even use a pie pan).
- Sprinkle remaining 1/4 cup of parmesan cheese on top. Sprinkle with a little extra dill weed, if desired.
- Bake in preheated oven for about 20 minutes or until hot and bubbly. Serve warm with crackers, bread, or veggies.
Notes
- This dip can be assembled a day ahead but should be baked just before serving; let it warm to room temperature before baking for even cooking.
- For a variation, mix chopped spinach with the artichokes before combining with the creamy base to make spinach artichoke dip.
- Using Greek yogurt instead of sour cream and low-fat cream cheese lightens the dip.
- Feel free to add or substitute shredded mozzarella cheese for a different melt and flavor.
