Years and years ago I was attending a game day potluck and a friend of mine brought this delicious Hot Artichoke Dip. After tasting it I begged for the recipe, it was THAT GOOD. Now it’s one of my favorite dip recipes any time I am entertaining and I’m willing to bet you’ll love it just as much as I do!
Why I love this recipe
- despite its simple ingredients,this dip has a creamy texture with the best flavor
- when it comes to easy appetizer recipes, this one is at the top of the list
- whether it’s a holiday season dinner party, game days, or just a weekend snack, this dip is always a crowd pleaser and the first one to be finished off
Ingredients
You only need 4 simple ingredients for this delicious recipe.
- mayonnaise – use a quality brand like Dukes or Hellmans
- parmesan cheese, freshly shredded is best
- garlic
- can of artichoke hearts
STEP BY STEP
This dip is a seriously easy recipe! Just mix and bake.
- Mix the mayonnaise, parmesan cheese, garlic, and chopped marinated artichoke hearts in a medium bowl and then trasnfer to an oven-safe baking dish.
- Bake for one hour or until golden brown and bubbling. It’s that simple!
Variations
While I think this is the perfect baked artichoke dip recipe as written, you can make it your own with small changes.
Try substituting part of the parmesan cheese with swiss cheese or mozzarella cheese or adding to the flavor with a dash of worcestershire sauce, squeeze of lemon juice, or a sprinkle of onion salt, cayenne,or black pepper.
You can also experiment with using light mayonnaise (I prefer full fat personally) or plain greek yogurt, or upping the creaminess with a bit of softened cream cheese.
FAQs
Can I add spinach to make this spinach artichoke dip?
Yes! If you’d like to add spinach to this recipe it will turn out wonderfully. You can add fresh spinach or a cooked and drained package of frozen spinach to this dip before baking. Alternatively, you can reference my Baked Hot Spinach Artichoke Dip recipe for another version that contains sour cream and cream cheese as well.
Can I make this dip ahead of time or freeze the artichoke dip?
You can absolutely make this dip ahead of time. Keep it in the refrigerator after mixing. Let it rest at room temperature 30 minutes before baking.
You can also mix this dip and freeze it in an airtight container until you are ready to bake.
I don’t suggest freezing after baking however as the consistency can change when thawed.
Serving Suggestions
Serve this dip warm right out of the oven for the best taste. You can also transfer it to a slow cooker to keep it warm while entertaining.
I like to serve alongside sturdy bread that can hold up to the dip, which makes it great for serving next to a charcuterie board with lots of options. Try baguette slices, tortilla chips, crackers, pita chips or pita bread, bagel chips, or crusty bread for dipping!
