Ingredients

• 14 ounces artichoke hearts (canned or jarred)
• 1 cup sun-dried tomatoes (packed in oil)
• 8 ounces cream cheese (softened)
• 1 cup sour cream
• 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• 2 cloves garlic (minced)
• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 tablespoon olive oil (for greasing baking dish)
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (for garnish, optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Lightly grease a small baking dish (about 1-quart capacity) with olive oil and set aside.

Step 3

Drain and roughly chop the artichoke hearts. Pat them dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture.

Step 4

Drain the sun-dried tomatoes and finely chop them.

Step 5

In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, sour cream, grated Parmesan cheese, and minced garlic. Mix until smooth and well combined.

Step 6

Stir in the chopped artichoke hearts, sun-dried tomatoes, Italian seasoning, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly.

Step 7

Fold in half of the shredded mozzarella cheese into the mixture.

Step 8

Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly.

Step 9

Sprinkle the remaining mozzarella cheese over the top of the dip.

Step 10

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the dip is bubbly and the top is golden brown.

Step 11

Remove from the oven and let the dip cool for about 5 minutes.

Step 12

Garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired. Serve warm with crackers, sliced baguette, or fresh vegetables for dipping.
