Warm Artichoke Dip

This artichoke dip is one of those recipes that has stuck with me over the years. I got it from a colleague at my very first job in San Francisco, back around 2000. She generously shared it with me, and it quickly became a favorite in our house. It’s everything you want in a warm dip: creamy, cheesy, full of artichoke hearts, and with just a little kick from green chilies. Best of all, it’s incredibly easy to make. 

Ingredients:

  • 1½ blocks cream cheese (12 oz total)
  • 1 cup mayonnaise
  • 3 cups grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 cans artichoke hearts, drained and chopped
  • 2 small cans diced green chilies

Instructions:

Preheat the oven to 350°F.

In a large bowl or food processor, combine the cream cheese, mayonnaise, Parmesan, artichoke hearts, and green chilies. Mix until well combined.

Transfer the mixture to a baking dish and spread it evenly.

Bake for about 45 minutes, until hot and golden on top.

Serve warm with crackers or baguette.
