Recipe

There’s nothing quite like a warm, bubbly artichoke dip loaded with creamy goodness and a golden, crispy Parmesan topping. This Crispy Parmesan Artichoke Dip is the perfect blend of tender artichoke hearts, rich cheese, and that irresistible crunch on top—ideal for game day, holiday gatherings, or any time you want a dip that disappears in minutes.

The secret to the perfect texture? A generous layer of finely shredded Parmesan that bakes into a crispy crown. A quick mention: the Geedel Rotary Cheese Grater makes shredding that cheese effortless and uniform, giving you the ideal melt and crisp every time.

🧀Ingredients (Serves 6–8 as an appetizer)

1 can (14 oz) artichoke hearts, drained and chopped

1 cup mayonnaise

1 cup cream cheese, softened

1 cup Parmesan cheese, finely shredded

½ cup sour cream

2 cloves garlic, minced

½ tsp lemon juice

Salt & freshly cracked black pepper

Optional: a pinch of red pepper flakes for heat

For serving: toasted baguette slices, crackers, or veggie sticks

🍳Step-by-Step: Crispy Artichoke Dip in 4 Moves

1. Shred the Parmesan Like a Pro

Lock your hand crank cheese grater with its suction base. Insert the fine shredding blade. Feed in a Parmesan block—one smooth crank per cloud-like, uniform shred. Set aside ½ cup for the topping and mix the rest into the base.

2. Prep the Base

In a large bowl, combine the chopped artichoke hearts, mayonnaise, cream cheese, sour cream, minced garlic, lemon juice, salt, pepper, and the shredded Parmesan (from step 1). Mix until smooth and well combined.

3. Assemble the Dip

Transfer the mixture to a baking dish (an 8-inch or similar oven-safe dish works great). Smooth the top with a spatula.

4. Add the Crispy Crown & Bake

Sprinkle the reserved finely shredded Parmesan evenly over the top—the finer shreds create that perfect golden, crispy layer everyone fights over. Bake until the dip is bubbling and the top is golden and crisp. Let it cool slightly before serving warm with your favorite dippers.

🔥Tips & Twists

Extra Crunch – Mix in a handful of panko breadcrumbs with the top Parmesan layer.

Spicy Version – Stir in diced jalapeños or a dash of hot sauce to the base.

Lighter Option – Swap half the mayo for Greek yogurt.

Make-Ahead – Assemble up to a day ahead; add topping just before baking.

Seafood Boost – Fold in crab meat for a luxurious twist.

🌟Conclusion: The Dip Everyone Asks For

This Crispy Parmesan Artichoke Dip is pure comfort in a bowl—creamy, garlicky, and crowned with that addictive crispy cheese top. It’s the appetizer that steals the show every time.
