- Crostini, bread, crackers or chips for dipping
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.

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.
