A good artichoke dip is kind of hard to find so I recommend this recipe and making your own. In the past when id look up artichoke dips they definitely seemed to lack spinach and the recipes more often than not came out watery. So I decided to make my own!
I love artichokes but they can be scary little things. They have to and I mean HAVE to be cleaned properly or say goodbye to your throat. They have a edible portion and a non edible that has the protective outer part and over course thorns!. Now if you want a stuffed artichoke, roasted or braised artichoke then there is no other way other than fresh but if you want to make it a dip or spread skip the nonsense and just go canned or jarred.
Ingredients
- 1 small onion, diced
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 8oz cream cheese
- 1c asiago cheese, grated
- 1/2 parmesan cheese, grated
- 1/3c mayo

- 1/4tsp white pepper
- 1/4tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 8oz can artichokes, drained
- 10 pepperoncini peppers, sliced
- 10 oz fresh spinach
Directions

- Once the spinach and onions are cooled add it to cream cheese mix along with artichokes, asiago cheese, parmesan and pepperoncini.
- Transfer to a oven safe dish, bake at 350 for 15 minutes.
- Broil for a couple minutes till golden brown and bubbly.

This looks amazing! I didn’t know artichokes had thorns. 🤦🏾♀️

That’s exactly why I thought they would be strange to add!
A nice classic.
Thank you! When I’ve used marinated ones before since they already have their own flavor they always came out kinda off and unbalanced in the final product. So I stick to canned since they are plain and they hold up really nicely.
This looks really good! I was curious about your recipe because I’ve seen so many that use marinated artichokes. And as much as I love them, I can’t see them in a creamy cheesy dip! Great recipe.
