It's been a while since I've tried a
New Food To Me and artichokes were one of the first things I added to the list. Dips and appys have been on my mind with football season starting back up (
even if it is only pre-season right now). This
Hot Artichoke Souffle Spread was good and only calls for five ingredients!
No spinach? Guess I'm still the only person in the world that's never tried that famous restaurant dip... But you
can smile with this one knowing you don't have spinach in your teeth:@)
This is the perfect amount of dip for a 5" baking dish.
If you have any leftovers it's great on a bagel, some sliced garden tomato would be a nice addition too.
Hot Artichoke Souffle Spread-
from A Spoonful of Thyme
8oz cream cheese, room temperature
1/2 C Parmesan cheese, grated
1/2 C mayonnaise
3-4 shots Tabasco sauce
6oz marinated artichoke hearts, drained and coarsely chopped
- Mix the first four ingredients well and fold in the artichokes.
- Spoon into small baking dish and top with additional Parm if desired.
- Bake at 350 degrees for about 20 minutes or until the top has browned. I placed it under the broiler after 20 minutes.
- Serve with crackers.
Let's begin building the menus for snacking season and have a happy day:@)
