A delightful and creamy dip featuring artichokes and a blend of cheeses, perfect for any gathering.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Preheating ensures even cooking and the perfect texture for the dip.
In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, grated parmesan cheese, mayonnaise, garlic powder, and ground black pepper until smooth.
Make sure the cream cheese is softened to make mixing easier and achieve a smooth consistency.
Fold in the chopped artichoke hearts, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
Chop the artichoke hearts finely for a more uniform texture in the dip.
Transfer the mixture into a greased baking dish and spread it out evenly.
Use a spatula to smooth the top for an even bake.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden and bubbly.
Keep an eye on the dip during the last few minutes to prevent over-browning.
Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving.
Allowing the dip to cool slightly makes it easier to serve and enhances the flavor.
Serve warm with your choice of crackers, bread, or vegetable sticks.
Arrange the dippers around the dip for an inviting presentation.
