Baked Artichoke Dip

canarygirl's Note:

This is a simple, flavorful appetizer. Try adding chopped spinach for a tasty variation.

• Total Time: 25 mins
• Prep Time: 5 mins
• Cook Time: 20 mins

Ingredients:

Servings: 6

• 1 can artichoke heart , drained
• 1 small onion
• 2 cloves garlic
• ¼ cup mayonnaise
• ¼ cup sour cream
• ¼ cup parmesan cheese
• 1 (8 ounce) package mozzarella cheese , divided
• ½ teaspoon oregano
• ¼ teaspoon dried basil or 6 leaves fresh basil , approximately
• salt and pepper
• chopped parsley (to garnish) (optional)
• 1 loaf crusty French bread

Directions:

1. Process artichokes, onion and garlic in the food processor until smooth (or if you like, until blended, but still have texture).
2. In medium sized bowl (or if you're a little lazy like me, right in the medium sized ceramic baking dish), combine remaining ingredients except parsley and bread, reserving 1 cup of mozzarella.
3. Sprinkle remaining cheese over artichoke dip, and sprinkle with chopped parsley.
4. Bake at 400º for 20 minutes, or until bubbly and beginning to brown.
5. Serve with crusty french bread slices.

This dip is my absolute favourite dip after trying it at Milestones restaurant in Victoria B.C. I added half a 250g packet of frozen spinach (ccoked). Love everything about this yummy dip!

This is a great dip. I doubled the garlic and used fresh herbs (oregano and basil) from the garden. Thanks for another great recipe.
