Cheesy Artichoke Dip

Jump to Recipe

I’m all about the appetizer situation at any party and this Cheesy Artichoke Dip is my new go-to! Normally I’m a chips and guacamole kinda girl, but this fall season I’m going for a more seasonal approach with Cheesy Artichoke Dip and toasted Naan Bread for serving.

Why I Love This Recipe

This is loaded with tons of flavors from onions to garlic, parmesan cheese, LOADS of artichoke hearts, Gruyere, Fontina, and some breadcrumbs to give it a bit of a bite. While I love steamed artichokes, this is everything one has ever wanted in life and more. Then add to that some toasted naan or pita on the side and it’s a recipe for success. This dish is a perfect appetizer whether its game day or you're hosting a dinner party. Pair with some roasted chicken and citrus avocado salad and you're good to go!!

I mean, come on. GET IN MY BELLY.

How to Make Cheesy Artichoke Dip

Step 1: Heat butter in a medium skillet over medium heat. When it foams, add onion and garlic, season with salt and freshly ground black pepper, and cook until onion and garlic are beginning to turn brown in color, about 6 minutes.

How to Store Cheesy Artichoke Dip

It is hard to have leftovers when you make this dip!! But, if you have leftovers, store it in an airtight container for 4-5 days. Warm it till its hot and bubbly again in the oven.

How to Freeze Cheesy Artichoke Dip

You can freeze extra dip properly sealed in an airtight container in the freezer for about 2 months. Thaw it out before hand and warm in the oven when its time to eat.

Tips & Tricks

I love to serve with mini naan for dipping. Pita chips are also a great choice!

FAQs

What should I do if my artichokes are heavy on vinegar?

Use canned artichokes that have not been marinated in vinegar. Jarred artichokes, especially, can often be marinated in vinegar that can give them a strong flavor and you will risk getting that flavor in the dip.

How should I avoid my dip from being too runny or thin?

Using the flour to make a roux helps create a good base for the dip and keeps it from becoming runny later. Additionally, draining the artichokes well will make sure that there are no extra liquids getting added.
