Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a baking dish with cooking spray or butter.
Drain the artichoke hearts and chop them into small pieces. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, Parmesan cheese, mozzarella cheese, minced garlic, black pepper, salt, and red pepper flakes (if using). Mix well.
Fold the chopped artichoke hearts into the cheese mixture until evenly distributed.
Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and bubbly.
Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving.
Serve warm with crackers, bread, or vegetable sticks.
Chef's Tips
- Cheese Variations: Try adding a mix of cheeses like Gruyère or fontina for extra depth of flavor.
- Make Ahead: You can prepare the dip a day in advance and refrigerate it until ready to bake.
- Spice Level: Adjust the red pepper flakes to your preferred level of spiciness.
- Creamier Texture: Add a splash of cream or sour cream for an even creamier consistency.
- Garnish: Sprinkle chopped parsley or chives on top before serving for a fresh touch.
