Ingredients
Dip Ingredients
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- 1 can artichoke hearts, drained and roughly chopped
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- ⅔ cup grated parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit to ensure it's ready to bake the dip to a perfect bubbling finish.
- Prepare the artichokes: Drain the artichoke hearts thoroughly and chop them roughly into large pieces to maintain texture in the dip.
- Mix ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the chopped artichoke hearts with mayonnaise, lemon juice, minced garlic, and grated parmesan cheese. Stir well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
- Transfer and bake: Pour the mixture into an oven-safe dish and bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the dip is hot and bubbly throughout.
- Serve warm: Remove from oven and serve immediately with sliced baguette or crackers for dipping.
Notes
- For a cheesier dip, sprinkle additional parmesan on top before baking.
- Adding a handful of shredded mozzarella can create a gooey texture.
- Use fresh lemon juice for the best zesty flavor.
- Serve with a variety of dippers like toasted pita, vegetable sticks, or pretzels for variety.
