Warm Artichoke Dip is a creamy, cheesy, and savory appetizer that’s perfect for parties or cozy gatherings. This dip combines tender artichoke hearts with a rich blend of cream cheese, sour cream, and Parmesan, baked to golden, bubbly perfection. The warm, melty texture of the cheese paired with the slight tanginess of the artichokes creates a wonderfully indulgent dip that’s great for serving with crispy crackers, toasted baguette slices, or fresh vegetables. It’s a crowd-pleasing dish that comes together easily and is always a hit at any event.
Ingredients:
- 1 can (14 oz) artichoke hearts, drained and chopped

- ½ cup sour cream
- ½ cup mayonnaise
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp onion powder
- ¼ tsp black pepper

- Assemble the Dip: Transfer the mixture to an oven-safe baking dish. If you prefer a cheesier dip, sprinkle the shredded mozzarella over the top.
