Ingredients for Baked Artichoke Dip
- Artichoke hearts - Canned artichoke hearts work best for this recipe.
- Sour cream - Any kind of dairy sour cream (including low fat and fat free) is delicious and works for this artichoke dip.
- Cream cheese - I tested this recipe with both regular and low fat cream cheese. Both work well.
- Mozzarella cheese - Shredded mozzarella gives this recipe an extra creaminess.
- Parmesan cheese - Chose a block of Parmesan cheese and shred it yourself for the best flavor and melt in the dip.
- Lemon juice - Fresh lemon juice is best. You'll need half a lemon for this recipe.
- Garlic - A little fresh garlic adds a depth of flavor without being too much.
- Onion powder, Paprika, Garlic powder, Black pepper, Salt - Spices that add to the flavor of the dip without overpowering the artichokes and cheeses.
How to Make Three Cheese Baked Artichoke Dip
Heat oven to 350 degrees.
Rinse, drain, and finely chop the artichoke hearts.
Place the softened cream cheese in a large bowl. Stir in the sour cream and chopped artichoke hearts.
Add 1 cup mozzarella cheese along with the Parmesan cheese, garlic, lemon juice, onion powder, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper to the cream cheese mixture. Mix well to combine.
Spoon mixture into a greased pie plate or shallow casserole dish. Sprinkle with remaining ½ cup mozzarella cheese.
Bake for 30-35 minutes or until the cheese on top is golden brown and edges of dip are bubbling. Serve warm with pita chips, tortilla chips, carrot sticks and other raw veggies. Enjoy!
