Ingredients

• 15 ounces Canned artichoke hearts
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
• 1 cup Whole milk
• 4 ounces Cream cheese, softened
• 1 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
• 0.5 teaspoons Garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Ground black pepper
• 0.5 cups Breadcrumbs
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh parsley (optional for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9-inch baking dish with cooking spray or butter.

Step 2

Drain the canned artichoke hearts and cut them into halves or quarters, depending on their size. Set aside.

Step 3

In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, whisk in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, to create a roux.

Step 4

Gradually whisk in the milk, ensuring there are no lumps, and continue to cook until the mixture thickens, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 5

Reduce the heat to low and stir in the cream cheese until it melts and is fully incorporated. Add the Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, salt, and pepper, stirring until the sauce is smooth and creamy.

Step 6

Gently fold the artichoke hearts into the sauce, ensuring they are well coated.

Step 7

Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.

Step 8

In a small bowl, mix the breadcrumbs with the olive oil until evenly coated. Sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture over the casserole.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the casserole is bubbling around the edges.

Step 10

Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with chopped parsley, if desired.
