Baked Artichoke Dip
This easy hot dip is delicious and is a perfect for any gathering big or small!
Equipment
- 1 9x9" square casserole dish or standard glass pie plate
- 1 Hand mixer
Ingredients
- ½ Cup Mayonnaise (you can substitute Miracle Whip for a sweeter taste)
- ½ cup Sour Cream (full fat prefered)
- 1 8oz package of cream cheese, softened
- 1 Cup grated parmesan cheese I prefer freshly grated but you can use pre grated (try to avoid the green brand-you know the one I mean, as it doesn't melt)
- 398 ml jar or can of artichoke hearts, drain and chop coarsely (remove the tough bits). (about 2 cups) (I prefer marinated ones in oil for more flavor),
- 1 clove fresh garlic, minced fine you can substitute 1/2 tsp granulated garlic if you don't have fresh.
- 2 green onions (optional) (for garnish)
- 1 large Round Sourdough Loaf *Optional If using- see notes below
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350F.
- Using a stand or hand mixer, cream together the cream cheese, mayonnaise, and sour cream until well combined. Add the remaining ingredients except the green onions and mix. Reserve the chopped green onions for garnish to put on once the dip has baked.
- Spoon the mixture into a 9×9 or 9×13 baking dish and level. Bake at 350F for 25-30 minutes, until lightly browned and hot/bubbly. Remove from oven, garnish with chopped green onions as desired.
- Let the dip sit for a couple of minutes before serving as it is extremely HOT!
- Serve with an assortment of crackers, breads, or freshly chopped veggies as dippers. Enjoy
Notes
This is a super easy dip. The recipe can be easily doubled if you need to.
Serve with crackers, pita chips or tortilla chips, vegetables...anything will do.
If you want to you can also make this dip inside a bread bowl. I like to use sourdough as it is nice and sturdy. Hollow out the bread (slice a 1" slice off the top and set it aside, then reach in and pull out pieces of bread until there is only about a 1" wide hollow "bowl" left. Make the filling then add it to the bread bowl and replace the bread lid. Wrap the entire loaf in heavy duty aluminum foil and bake as directed. Note: It may take longer to heat through the bread depending on your oven. Once done remove the lid and serve the dip along with the torn bread pieces and lid as dippers.
