Artichoke Dip

Artichoke Cheese Dip wasn’t a recipe I came by through the wonderful world of Pinterest. I was with my husband and his mom at a farmer’s market in Los Angeles one day probably ten years ago and we were rounding the “hey you want delicious smelling prepared food don’t you?!” section of the market. There was a stand that sold prepared dips and Middle Eastern food like feta and olives (they were so overpriced I think my deal seeking heart may have died a little) and she said “Oh Boy!!” when she saw this dip. 

Making Artichoke Dip from Scratch

Artichoke Cheese Dip quickly became my pet project, watching her buy the dip with such excitement I wanted to recreate it for her so she could make it anytime. We bought the artichoke dip, the pita chips and when we got home we got to work. Delicious artichoke dip work, mind you.

The best part was the ingredients to the Artichoke Dip were listed right on top, I just needed the proportions. At first, we had mozzarella in the mix but it made it too mild. This artichoke dip is rich and briny and tangy – mozzarella clearly was out of its league (plus it was listed last, so how much could possibly have been in it?). 

Artichoke Dip Perfected

Now Artichoke Cheese Dip is a regular part of our holiday party rotation. It takes just five minutes to prepare and toasts away in the oven until it is bubbly and browned in its own delicious bread bowl (team sourdough here but anything you like will work).

Quick notes about the Artichoke Dip:

• The artichoke dip is perfectly delicious cold! So if you’re thinking of office parties or picnics, you can absolutely make this recipe part of the party.
• You can bake the dip in a baking pan or oven-safe bowl if you’d prefer to serve with something other than the bread bowl, but I must warn you the leftover bowl and dip re-toasted may be one of life’s most amazing pleasures. It is GOOD.
• Add some spice/heat to the mix and add in some diced jalapenos. I only added them on top as a garnish but adding a half a de-seeded and de-veined minced jalapeno will give the Artichoke Cheese Dip a delicious kick.
• If you want you can absolutely use canned artichokes, just make sure you aren’t using marinaded ones like these or these. Use a non-marinaded or frozen artichoke heart, I like the Trader Joe’s frozen ones.
