Why this Recipe Works

Baked Artichoke Dip scooped with crackers or crusty bread is one of life’s little joys. What’s a party or a potluck without a big serving bowl full of bubbly Artichoke Dip to share?

I never know when I make a dip recipe if I’m doing it because I crave the ingredients of the dip, or I want an excuse to eat the crackers!

Clearly, with this recipe, it’s about the dip.

  • Those salty and vinegary artichokes mixed with cream cheese, mayo and mozzarella? Heaven.
  • And I can’t forget about the garlic. The more garlic the better, I say.
  • Easy to bake or microwave!

Although, I do still love snacking on crackers whenever I get the chance. I never realized how much I love Triscuits until I entered adulthood.

As a child, those would never have touched my lips. Seriously. They look like Mini Wheats cereal (which I love now, but hated as a kid, go figure).

It seems like everyone has an artichoke dip they swear by. Some include spinach, like my favorite Spinach Artichoke Dip.

Really, it is as simple as that! And I bet if you brought this to a potluck, or made it for friends and family, you’ll be the star of the show!

Ingredient Notes

Artichoke Dip Recipe (3)

Along with a fullfour cloves of garlic,I’ve found one other key for making irresistible artichoke dip: lemon zest. (use our guide on how to zest a lemon)

Just a bit of the zest from a fresh lemon blended with the artichokes, mayo, cream cheese and mozzarella cheese adds a brightness to this dip that you can’t beat. It highlights the vinegary flavor of the artichokes while balancing the saltiness.

While I’m sure you could still make a perfectly fine artichoke dip without the lemon, why would you settle for “fine” when you can have AMAZING?

I recommend using full fat regular cream cheese in this artichoke dip recipe. Light cream cheese just won’t have the same richness.

It’s an ideal accompaniment to a Charcuterie board as well.

Serving Suggestions

Artichoke Dip goes well with just about any cracker or bread you can think of. Serve it with crostini for a fancy party or spread it on fresh slices of homemade garlic bread.

Because this dip is thick, I find it’s best with a heartier cracker or toasted bread that can hold up to it. (Water crackers and thin wafers will break if you try to scoop artichoke dip with them!) Our homemade bagel chips work great too.

This dip is so good though that you might just be tempted to eat it by the spoonful.

As the years have passed, and I’ve been busy creating new recipes, this dip has remained one of our favorites, along with Pepperoni Pizza Dip, Hanky Pankys, and Taco Tortilla Stacks.

If you love artichokes, this creamy coconut sauce Baked Chicken Thigh recipe is packed with flavor!

PRO TIP: Make it a meal! Add rotisserie chicken or your own cooked and shredded chicken to the mixture before baking.
