Ingredients

• 15 oz (1 can) Cannellini beans (or Great Northern beans), drained and rinsed
• 0.5 cup Freshly grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 2 tbsp Olive oil
• 1 tbsp Lemon juice
• 0.5 tsp Salt
• 0.25 tsp Ground black pepper
• 1 tbsp Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
• 0 as desired Pita chips, vegetables, or bread (for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

In a food processor, combine the drained and rinsed cannellini beans, minced garlic, olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Blend until smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as needed.

Step 3

Transfer the blended bean mixture into an oven-safe baking dish.

Step 4

Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese and 3/4 cup of the shredded mozzarella, reserving the remaining 1/4 cup of mozzarella for the top.

Step 5

Spread the mixture evenly in the baking dish, then sprinkle the reserved mozzarella cheese on top.

Step 6

Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Step 7

If desired, switch the oven to broil for the last 1-2 minutes to achieve a golden-brown top, but keep a close eye to prevent burning.

Step 8

Remove the dip from the oven and let it cool slightly. Garnish with chopped parsley, if using.

Step 9

Serve warm with pita chips, fresh vegetables, or slices of crusty bread.
