Baked Artichoke Dip Ingredients
- Artichoke hearts – Canned artichoke hearts that have been rinsed, drained, squeezed dry and chopped.
- Mayonnaise
- Sour cream
- Garlic
- Cheese – A combination of cream cheese, gruyere, mozzarella and Parmesan.
- Crushed red pepper flakes
- Sliced green onion – for topping.
Preparing the Artichoke Hearts
The most challenging part of this recipe is draining, rinsing, and squeezing/pressing dry the canned artichoke hearts, as they’re very salty. I rinse and drain them in a colander and use paper towels to press the artichoke hearts dry before chopping.
An easy way to chop artichoke hearts is to cut them in half lengthwise, then cut them horizontally a few times.
How to Make Artichoke Dip
- Stir the ingredients (except green onions) until combined in a large mixing bowl.
- Transfer mixture to a baking dish and spread evenly.
- Bake in a preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes, or until heated through and bubbling around the edges.
- Sprinkle with sliced green onions when serving.
Recipe Variations
- Spice it up. Add a few dashes of Tabasco sauce, extra crushed red pepper flakes, and/or sliced jarred jalapenos (that have been drained) to the dip mixture.
- Lighten it up. Use low-fat cream cheese, mayo, and sour cream instead of full-fat.
