This dip is a favorite at parties and is a variant of our well-known Spinach Artichoke Dip. It can be prepared in advance and is consistently praised.
Ingredients
Compared to our spinach artichoke dip, this recipe has a little lighter consistency, and the artichokes’ taste is particularly prominent.
CREAMY Basis: Cream cheese, mayonnaise, and sour cream combine to create the ideal base that is creamy and slightly tangy.
This recipe calls for marinated parmesan artichoke dip, which is distinct from artichokes that have been canned. Well-seasoned artichokes that have been marinated are in oil rather than water.
You’ll need to add more spice (1/8 teaspoon each of dried basil and oregano with a little salt and pepper) if you use canned artichokes.
CHEESES: Parmesan gives this meal a strong flavor, while mozzarella gives it a wonderful, creamy texture. Another excellent addition to this dish is gruyere.
Variations
- You can include fresh or frozen spinach (5 oz frozen is perfect in this recipe).
- Chunks of water chestnuts lend a wonderful crunch.
- Add a finely sliced jalapeño for some added heat.
- Skip the bread crumbs and sprinkle with a little more cheese to keep the carb count low.
Making an Artichoke Dip
- Seasonings should be mixed with the creamy base.
- Add the artichokes, and chop. Add cheeses and mix (per the recipe below).
- Bake after adding the bread crumbs on top.
Ahead of time and leftovers
- Up to 48 hours before your guests arrive, prepare the dip, then bake it.
- You will need to increase the cooking time if the dip is prepared in advance by a few minutes.
- For up to 4 days, leftovers can be kept in the refrigerator.
- It is difficult to freeze this dish.
