Servings:

Ingredients

8 ounces cream cheese , softened
1 cup mayonnaise
4-8 ounces mozzarella cheese , shredded
1 cup Parmesan cheese , grated
14 ounces marinated artichoke hearts (1 jar, or about 1 1/2 cups), drained and chopped
½ small white onion , finely chopped
2 garlic cloves , minced

For dipping: Crostini, bread, crackers or chips

Instructions

Preheat: Preheat oven to 350°F.
Combine ingredients: In a medium mixing bowl, combine 8 ounces cream cheese and 1 cup mayonnaise. Then add 4-8 ounces grated mozzarella, 1 cup parmesan cheese, 1 jar of chopped artichoke hearts, 1/2 chopped onion and 2 cloves of minced garlic. Mix well.
Bake: Spoon the mixture into a 9×9 or 9×13 baking dish. Bake at 350°F for 25-30 minutes, until slightly browned. If you want to brown the top even more, put under the broiler for a few minutes, watching closely so it doesn't burn.

Notes

Notes:

Artichoke hearts: Be sure to use jarred marinated artichoke hearts (and not canned artichoke hearts) for maximum flavor.

Cheese: I like to use freshly grated cheese (not pre-bought grated cheese) so it melts better.

To Make-Ahead: Mix all the ingredients together, smooth into the baking dish, and cover tightly. Store in the fridge for up to 2 days before baking.

Mexican Style Addition: Add a small can of green chiles to give it a Mexican flare.
