Dip Ingredients
- 8 ounces cream cheese, room temperature
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 14 ounces artichoke hearts, chopped
- 1/2 pound cooked crabmeat, picked through for shells
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1/4 cup green onions, sliced
- 1/2 red bell pepper, chopped finely
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius) to prepare for baking the dip.
- Combine Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, thoroughly mix the cream cheese, mayonnaise, minced garlic, chopped artichoke hearts, crabmeat, grated Parmesan, sliced green onions, finely chopped red bell pepper, and cayenne pepper until well blended.
- Prepare to Bake: Spoon the combined mixture evenly into a suitable baking dish, spreading it out smoothly.
- Bake the Dip: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes or until the dip is hot and bubbly and the top is slightly golden.
- Serve: Remove from oven and allow to cool slightly before serving. Serve warm with crackers, baguette slices, or fresh vegetables for dipping.
Notes
- Ensure the crabmeat is picked through carefully to remove any shells for a pleasant eating experience.
- Artichoke hearts can be fresh, frozen (thawed), or canned – just make sure they are well drained before chopping.
- The cayenne pepper adds a subtle heat; adjust the amount according to your spice preference.
- For a lower-fat version, substitute mayonnaise with light mayo or Greek yogurt and use reduced-fat cream cheese.
- Best served warm immediately after baking but can be reheated gently without losing flavor.
