Why This Recipe Works
- This dip comes together quickly and bakes up in 20 minutes.
- Two secret ingredients give this dip that "je ne sais quoi" taste.
- It's creamy, cheesy, and comforting.
- It's fancy enough for a cocktail party yet casual enough for a game-day spread.
Ingredient Notes
- Artichoke hearts are a great pantry staple to keep on hand. If using frozen ones, make sure to thaw and drain completely so the dip doesn't turn watery.
- Gruyere cheese's nutty taste complements the artichokes. If you need to substitute, use a cheese with a similar flavor profile, like Jarlsberg or Emmental.
- Mayonnaise: I use Duke's or Hellman's light mayo in this recipe, but you can also use the regular, full-fat variety.
- Pecorino Romano has a delicious salty bite. Parmesan can also be used.
- White wine vinegar may seem a little unexpected in a dip, but the acidity balances out the richness of the mayo and cheese and pairs beautifully with artichokes.
- Nutmeg is another unexpected addition. Just a pinch gives a hint of warmth and deeper complexity. If you don't have nutmeg, you can omit it, and this dip will still be delicious.

How to Make Warm Artichoke Dip
Step 1: Combine all of the dip ingredients in a mixing bowl.
Step 2: Stir until well-blended.
Step 3: Melt the butter in a small skillet. Add the breadcrumbs and stir until they are evenly coated.
Step 4: Transfer the dip to a baking dish. An 8-inch dish or pie plate works well. Top with the breadcrumbs. Bake at 400℉ for 20 minutes until bubbly. Serve immediately or at room temperature.
Expert Tips
- For a chunkier dip, roughly chop the artichokes.
- If using frozen artichoke hearts, thaw and drain well before chopping and adding to the dip.
- Use freshly shredded cheese for the best flavor and melting quality.
- Double this recipe for larger gatherings. Serve with a variety of dippers, such as bagel chips, tortilla chips, crackers, pretzels, crostini, or veggies.
