Creamy Pesto Artichoke Dip Recipes

Steps:

• Blend artichoke hearts, Parmesan cheese, mayonnaise, sour cream, and garlic in a blender until smooth; transfer to a serving bowl. Stir lemon juice, salt, and pepper into the dip.

Steps:

• Position a rack in the upper third of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F. Spray a 1-quart baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
• Put the cream cheese, sour cream, mayonnaise and garlic in a large bowl. Mix vigorously until combined and smooth. (If you prefer, you can use a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment.) Add the spinach to the cream cheese mixture, breaking it up as you add it. Add the artichokes, mozzarella and 1/2 cup of the Parmesan, mixing to combine. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish and top with the remaining 1/4 cup Parmesan.
• Bake until the dip begins to bubble, 20 to 25 minutes. Turn the oven to broil and continue to cook, keeping an eye on it so it doesn't burn, until the top is golden brown, about 5 minutes. Serve warm with crackers, chips or toasted bread.

Steps:

• In a food processor combine cream cheese, 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzerella, mayonnaise, garlic and basil until smooth. Add drained artichoke hearts and pulse just until chopped. Place in a pie plate and top with the reserved 1/2 cup mozzerella. (Can be made 1 day in advance). Bake in a 350 degree oven for 25 minutes or until cheese is melted and lightly brown. Serve with crackers, lightly toasted slices of french bread and breadsticks.

Steps:

• Drain artichoke.
• Place in mixing bowl, mash, add cream cheese, mayo, mozzarella and Parmesan cheese and garlic powder.
• Blend well, turn into shallow baking dish.
• Bake 15 minutes@ 350 or until bubbly.
• Serve with Bagel Chips (garlic is very good).
