Hot Artichoke Dip
SERVES 6 | LEVEL: BEGINNER
If you love it, share it!
I had this insanely good hot artichoke dip at someone’s party years ago and basically, pulled up a chair alongside it and polished off most of it (I’m not proud, but hand to God, true story.) I couldn’t leave without the recipe, and since then, it’s been my consistent go-to whenever I need an easy appetizer. It’s incredibly easy, and will be the rock star starter of your spread. Serves around 6 people. Double the recipe for a bigger crowd and watch it disappear.
Ingredients:
One 14 oz. can artichoke hearts in water
½ cup mayo, or a little less if you like it less creamy (I use Hellman’s Lite)
¾ cup shredded parmesan cheese
Dried, chopped, or minced onion flakes
1 teaspoon garlic powder
- Preheat oven to 350.
- Drain the artichokes and dump them into a bowl.
- Add the remaining ingredients, and using a wooden spoon, mash the artichokes and mix everything thoroughly so the artichokes are broken up.
- Spoon the mixture into a shallow, oven-proof baking dish (a quiche dish works great, or a small cast-iron pan makes for a great presentation).
- Bake for about 30 minutes, until the top is golden brown.
Serve with plain, sturdy crackers like Triscuits or Breton whole wheat crackers.
