Four cheese artichoke dip

A hot and cheesy artichoke dip is hard to resist. It's a party favourite and almost always is served as an appetizer with toasted bread or fried tortilla. Today I am sharing my recipe for this rich and creamy treat. Try it this holiday season!

Ingredients
2 cups chopped artichoke hearts
1/2 cup chopped onion
1 block (8 ounce)  softened cream cheese
2 cups mayonnaise
1 cup shredded gouda (or swiss, mozzerella)
1/2 cup shredded parmigiana reggiano 
1/2 softened goat cheese
1 tsp salt
1 tsp sugar
1 tsp onion powder
1 tsp cracked pepper
1 tsp worcestershire sauce
1 tsp hot sauce



Method
Four cheese artichoke dip
Preheat oven to 350C. Cream all cheeses and mayonnaise on medium speed for 2 minutes. Add all other ingredients and mix well. Move dip to an oven safe baking dish, crack more black pepper on top, sprinkle more parmigiana reggiano and bake at 350C for 40 minutes. Serve hot with bread. If you're making in advance you can reheat dip in hot oven for 5 minutes.

I like to squeeze a bit of lemon juice over top to add that extra zing that compliments the creaminess. Devour hot or cold, but make sure to have enough bread or chips handy.
Enjoy!
