Parmesan Artichoke Dip (easy to make)

By admin On Feb 6, 2021

Parmesan Artichoke Dip is rich, creamy, and packed with artichokes & fresh parmesan cheese. It’s all topped with a buttery crumb topping and baked until golden and bubbly.

This dip is a variation of our famous Spinach Artichoke Dip and a party favorite! It can be made ahead of time and always gets rave reviews.

Ingredients

This recipe has a slightly lighter consistency compared to our spinach artichoke dip and the flavor of the artichokes is very forward!

CREAMY BASE: Cream cheese, mayonnaise, and sour cream make for a creamy and slightly tangy base that is the perfect consistency.

ARTICHOKES: This recipe uses marinated artichokes which are different than canned artichokes. Marinated artichokes are in oil (not water) and are well seasoned.

If you use canned artichokes, you’ll need to add some extra seasoning (1/8 teaspoon each dried basil and oregano with a bit of salt & pepper).

CHEESES: Parmesan adds bold flavor to this recipe while mozzarella gives a nice creamy texture. Gruyere is another great addition to this recipe.

Variations

Fresh or frozen spinach can be added (5 oz frozen is perfect in this recipe).
Chopped water chestnuts add great crunch.
Stir in a finely diced jalapeno for a little bit of heat.
To keep it low carb, skip the bread crumbs and add a bit of extra cheese on top.

How to Make Artichoke Dip

Combine the creamy base with seasonings.
Add chopped artichokes. Stir in cheeses (per recipe below).
Top with bread crumb topping and bake.

Make Ahead & Leftovers

Prepare the dip up to 48 hours ahead of time and bake when your guests arrive.
If the dip is prepped ahead of time, you’ll need to add a few minutes to the cook time.
Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
This recipe does not freeze well.
