Ingredients
  

  • 1 can 14 ounces artichoke hearts (drained and chopped)
  • 1 cup mayonnaise use a high-quality brand
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 cup shredded Mozzarella cheese
  • 2 cloves garlic finely minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt optional, as cheese is salty
  • Optional: 1 tablespoon chopped green onions for garnish

Instructions
 

Preheat Your Oven

  • Start by setting your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Let it warm up while you prepare the dip. This ensures the dip cooks evenly. A hot oven is key for getting that beautiful golden top.

Prep the Artichoke Hearts

  • Open the can of artichoke hearts and drain all the liquid. Place them on a cutting board. Use a sharp knife to chop them into bite-sized pieces. Do not make them too small or they will disappear.

Mix the Base Ingredients

  • Grab your large mixing bowl. Add the mayonnaise and the chopped artichoke hearts. Stir them together until the artichokes are well coated. The mayonnaise makes the dip very rich. It creates a smooth base for the cheese.

Add the Cheeses and Garlic

  • Add the Parmesan and Mozzarella cheese to the bowl. Put in the minced garlic, pepper, and salt. Use your spatula to fold everything together. Make sure the garlic is spread out evenly. You want flavor in every single bite.

Transfer to the Baking Dish

  • Lightly grease your baking dish with a little butter or oil. Pour the mixture into the dish. Use the back of your spoon to smooth the top. It should look flat and even. This helps it bake at the same speed.

Bake Until Golden and Bubbly

  • Place the dish in the center of the oven. Bake for about 20 to 25 minutes. Watch for the edges to start bubbling. The top should turn a light golden brown. It will smell amazing in your kitchen.

Cool Slightly and Garnish

  • Take the dish out of the oven. Let it sit for about 5 minutes before serving. This allows the cheese to set slightly. If you want, sprinkle some fresh green onions on top. It adds a nice pop of color.

Notes

  • In the Fridge: Store any leftovers in an airtight container. It will stay fresh for up to 3 to 4 days.
  • Do Not Freeze: This dip does not freeze well. The mayonnaise can separate and become oily when thawed.
  • Reheating in Oven: Put leftovers in an oven-safe dish. Heat at 300 degrees until warm.
  • Microwave Method: You can microwave small portions for 30 seconds. Stir it once to make sure the heat is even.
  • Keep it Covered: Always cover the dish in the fridge to keep the cheese from drying out
