Artichoke Dip Ingredients
- Cream Cheese – The cream cheese makes this baked artichoke dip so creamy and craveable. Read about how to soften cream cheese.
- Mayonnaise – Mayo is also a great base for creamy dips! Olive Oil Mayo is my go-to.
- Quartered Artichokes – Canned and drained – no need to dice, as they are already the perfect size. You can use marinated artichoke hearts if you prefer.
- Grated Parmesan Cheese – Fresh grated or store bought, your choice!
- Monterey Jack Cheese – Fresh grated jack cheese makes this dip sooooo creamy! Avoid pre-shredded cheese, as it’s covered in a flour like substance that helps it resist sticking and melting. Not what you want in a creamy, rich dip!
- Garlic – Minced garlic is preferable. You can purchase a jar in the produce section of your grocery store. However, in a pinch, you can substitute with powdered garlic.
- Cayenne and Pepper – A hint of cayenne and thick flakes of black pepper add a touch of spicy flavor to this amazing dip!
- Green Onion – optional garnish for a touch of color!
Variations
- Spice it up – It’s so easy to make this dip your own! Throw a few jalapenos into the mix, a touch of hot sauce works well too.
- Add Spinach – Want a classic spinach artichoke dip flavor? Add a handful of spinach – fresh or frozen.
- Seasoning – Add a fun teaspoon of homemade seasoning blend to this dip (instead of the cayenne and pepper). Consider taco seasoning, fajita seasoning or cajun seasoning.
