Hot Artichoke Dip

Makes about 2 cups

Ingredients

1 (6-ounce) jar marinated artichokes, rinsed and drained
4 ounces cream cheese, softened
½ cup mayonnaise
3 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese, divided
2 tablespoons sliced scallions, plus more for garnish
2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil leaves
2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350°F.
In a food processor, finely chop the artichokes. Transfer them to a medium mixing bowl.

In the same food processor, combine the cream cheese and mayonnaise. Process until smooth and creamy, then add the mixture to the chopped artichokes.

Stir in 2 tablespoons of the Parmesan cheese, the scallions, basil, lemon juice, and black pepper. Mix until fully combined.

3. Spoon the mixture into a 2-cup baking or gratin dish and sprinkle the remaining Parmesan cheese evenly over the top.

4. Bake for 30 minutes, or until hot and bubbly. Remove from the oven and garnish with additional sliced scallions, if desired. Serve warm with pita chips and fresh vegetable sticks.

Tips for success

Soften the cream cheese: Let it sit at room temperature for smoother blending.

Make ahead: Assemble the dip up to 24 hours in advance, cover, and refrigerate. Bake just before serving.

Serving ideas: Pita chips, crostini, crackers, and crisp vegetables all pair beautifully.

While this dip comes together with simple ingredients, a beautiful serving dish makes it feel party-ready. I’ve linked a few favorite baking and serving dishes in my Amazon shop that are perfect for warm dips like this one. Choose a shallow dish for even baking and easy scooping, and let it go straight from oven to table.
