Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese and mayonnaise until smooth and creamy.
Add shredded mozzarella, grated parmesan, chopped artichoke hearts, finely chopped onion, and minced garlic to the mixture. Stir thoroughly until well combined.
Transfer the mixture to a baking dish, spreading evenly.
Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden and bubbly.
Optional: Broil for an additional 2-3 minutes for a crispier top.
Serve hot with crostini, bread, crackers, or chips.

Notes

Substitute cream cheese with Greek yogurt for a lighter dip or use vegan cheese for a dairy-free version. For make-ahead, assemble the dip and refrigerate unbaked up to 24 hours; bake just before serving. Refrigerate leftovers for up to 4 days; reheat gently. If dip is watery, drain artichokes thoroughly. For extra flavor, add spinach or a pinch of chili flakes. If the top browns too quickly, cover lightly with foil.
