Preheat Oven

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

2

Prepare Artichokes

Drain the can of artichoke hearts and chop them into small pieces.

Pro tip: Use a clean kitchen towel to pat the artichokes dry to remove excess moisture.

3

Mix Ingredients

In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, mayonnaise, sour cream, Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Stir until well combined.

Pro tip: Ensure the cream cheese is fully softened for easier mixing.

4

Add Artichokes

Fold the chopped artichokes into the cheese mixture until evenly distributed.

Pro tip: Be gentle to keep the artichokes from breaking apart too much.

5

Transfer to Baking Dish

Spoon the mixture into a medium-sized baking dish, spreading it out evenly.

Pro tip: A 9-inch (23 cm) pie dish works well for this recipe.

6

Bake the Dip

Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the dip is bubbling.
