Recipe type: Appetizer
Serves: 8-10
Ingredients
  • 1 cup mayonnaise (can use olive oil mayo for a healthier alternative)
  • 4 oz. cream cheese softened
  • ⅛ teaspoon white pepper (optional for extra kick)
  • 1 cup grated parmesan cheese (fresh is best, but can use canned)
  • 1 small 4 oz. can diced green chilies
  • 1 can (14-15 oz.) artichoke hearts, drained and diced*
Directions
  1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
  2. Mix mayonnaise, cream cheese and pepper until smooth. If cream cheese is cold, just pop it in the microwave for 30 seconds and that should do the trick.
  3. Add in parmesan cheese and mix thoroughly.
  4. Add additional ingredients until evenly incorporated.
  5. Scoop mixture into small casserole dish (one that holds the equivalent of an 8X8 in. baking dish) with at least a 1½ inch depth.
  6. Bake uncovered for 25 minutes, until warmed through and lightly browning on top.
  7. Serve with your choice of woven wheat crackers, celery and carrot sticks, pita chips, tortilla chips, focaccia or mini loaves of French bread, sliced and dried.
Notes
*Look for the cans of artichoke hearts that have the highest count of hearts per can. The artichoke hearts will be smaller but you will get the more tender part of the heart as opposed to more leaves.
