Artichoke Dip
Description
The Artichoke Dip brings together shredded mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses with drained, chopped artichoke hearts for a blend that’s rich and savory. The mixture of sour cream, cream cheese, and mayonnaise adds creaminess and tang, balanced by minced garlic. Optional sun-dried tomatoes introduce a subtle sweetness and depth. After combining all ingredients, the dip is baked until hot and slightly golden, creating a smooth, spreadable texture.
Its creamy texture with melted cheeses and tender artichoke pieces makes this dip suitable for gatherings or snacks when paired with toasted bread, crackers, or vegetables. The garlic ensures a savory base without overpowering the artichokes’ mild flavor.
For ease, the dip can be prepared in advance and refrigerated overnight, allowing flavors to meld. It reheats well in small portions in the microwave or oven, and leftovers can be frozen for longer storage.
Ingredients
- 1 cup mozzarella cheese shredded
- 1 cup Parmesan Cheese shredded
- 1 (14-ounce) can artichoke hearts drained and chopped
- ½ cup sour cream
- 1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese
- ½ cup mayonnaise
- 2 teaspoons garlic minced
- ⅓ cup sun-dried tomato optional, chopped
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
- In a medium mixing bowl, add the cheeses and chopped artichoke hearts.
- In a separate bowl, stir the sour cream, cream cheese, mayo, and garlic. Once combined pour it over the mixture of cheese and artichokes.
- Stir until combined. Add the optional sun-dried tomatoes to the bowl and fold them into the mixture.
- Spread the mixture into an 8x8-inch baking dish. Bake for 25 minutes then serve.
Notes
- Prepare the dip a day ahead, cover, and refrigerate to enhance flavors before baking.
- Allow the refrigerated dip to reach room temperature before baking for even cooking.
- Store leftovers in airtight containers in the fridge for 2-3 days or freeze for 2-3 months.
- Reheat small servings in the microwave; for larger amounts, heat covered in the oven at 350°F or use a slow cooker.
