Baked Artichoke Bacon Parmesan Appetizer Dip Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Combine the artichoke hearts, mayonnaise and Parmesan cheese and mix well. Spread mixture in a 9x13-inch baking dish and bake in the preheated oven for 15 to 20 minutes, or until bubbly and golden brown.

Steps:

• For the pita chips: Place an oven rack in the center of the oven. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. In a small bowl, combine the chili powder and cumin. Drizzle the tops of the pita breads with the oil and sprinkle with the spice mixture and salt. Cut each pita bread into 8 wedges and arrange in a single layer on a baking sheet. Bake until crisp and golden, about 10 minutes.
• For the dip: Place an oven rack in the center of the oven. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Butter a 9-inch round ceramic deep-dish pie pan or a 1-quart baking dish.
• Place a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the oil and bacon and cook until crispy, about 8 minutes. Remove the bacon and drain on paper towels. When cool enough to handle, crumble into 1/2-inch pieces. Set aside. In the same skillet, add the oil (if needed), shallots, garlic, artichokes, 1/2 teaspoon of the salt and pepper. Cook over medium-high heat until the shallots are translucent and the artichokes begin to brown, about 8 minutes.
• Transfer the vegetables to a food processor. Add the mascarpone cheese, sour cream, mayonnaise, lemon juice, 1/2 of the cooked bacon pieces and the remaining 1 teaspoon salt. Pulse until combined but still chunky. Place the dip in the prepared baking dish and sprinkle with the remaining bacon pieces. Bake until just warmed through (do not let the dip boil), 10 minutes. Serve the pita chips alongside.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350F degrees.
• Spray a 4-cup casserole dish with Pam, or lightly grease it; set aside.
• Chop drained artichokes and place in a mixing bowl.
• Add all other ingredients and combine; put mixture into casserole dish.
• Bake in preheated oven until hot and bubbly, about 20 minutes.
• Serve with crackers, melba toast, or your favourite dippers.

Steps:

• Rinse and trim the artichoke, cutting the stem off straight so that the artichoke can stand up on it's own without tipping over.
• Spread artichoke petals open as far as possible without snapping.
• Between the petals: squeeze lemon juice, drizzle olive oil and broth and stuff garlic. Sprinkle the top of the artichoke with sea salt.
• Tightly double wrap and seal the artichoke with heavy-duty aluminum foil.
• Place artichoke, making sure that it is standing up straight so the liquid doesn't come out (I put them packed together in a baking dish) in a pre-heated 425 oven and bake (medium-sized for 60 minutes, large for 90 minutes).
• Remove from oven and remove wrapping.
