Baked Artichoke Dip
Equipment
- 1 Mixing bowl
- 1 spatula or wooden spoon
- 1 Cutting board
- 1 Chef's knife
- 1 Measuring cups set
- 1 Measuring spoons set
- 1 9-inch (or similar size) oven-safe baking dish
- 1 Oven mitt
Ingredients
- 400 gram canned artichoke hearts drained and chopped
- 225 gram cream cheese softened
- 120 gram sour cream
- 60 gram mayonnaise
- 120 gram grated Parmesan cheese
- 120 gram shredded mozzarella cheese
- 2 clove garlic minced
- 2 gram salt
- 1 gram black pepper ground
- 1 gram red pepper flakes optional
- 5 gram fresh parsley optional for garnish; chopped
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 190°C (375°F).
- Add the softened cream cheese, sour cream, and mayonnaise to the mixing bowl and stir until smooth and well combined.
- Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese, shredded mozzarella cheese, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes until evenly distributed.
- Fold the chopped artichoke hearts into the cheese mixture with the spatula until fully incorporated.
- Transfer the mixture into the oven-safe baking dish and spread it into an even layer.
- Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 20–25 minutes, or until the dip is hot and bubbling and the top is lightly golden.
- Remove the baking dish from the oven using an oven mitt and let the dip rest for 5 minutes before serving.
- Garnish the top with chopped fresh parsley, if using, and serve warm with bread, crackers, or vegetable sticks.
Notes
For best flavor, use artichoke hearts packed in water rather than brine-heavy jars to avoid excessive saltiness, and always drain them well to keep the dip from becoming watery. If you like extra color and a slightly crisp top, broil the dip for 1–2 minutes at the end of baking, watching closely to prevent burning. You can prepare the mixture a day ahead, cover, and refrigerate, then bake just before serving, adding 5–10 extra minutes to the cook time if going straight from the fridge. Adjust the richness by swapping some mayonnaise for extra sour cream, and feel free to add chopped spinach, cooked bacon, or a sharper cheese like aged cheddar to customize both flavor and texture.
