This baked artichoke dip recipe is the perfect easy appetizer for your next party. Creamy, rich, and luxurious – the cheesy artichoke and roasted garlic dip is topped with golden brown melted mozzarella and served with crispy crostini!
Heat oven to 400 degrees. Slice the head of garlic in half and place it into a piece of tin foil. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with a large pinch of Kosher salt. Wrap foil around garlic, sealing it inside. Bake for 40-45 minutes or until golden brown and soft. Set aside and allow to cool. Turn oven to 350 degrees.
Squeeze cooled garlic into a large bowl along with artichoke hearts, sour cream, cream cheese, half the mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, and a few hearty pinches of salt along with a pinch of pepper. Mix until well combined.
Transfer to a 8×8 baking dish. Spread in an even layer and top with remaining mozzarella.
Bake for 25-30 minutes. Then broil for 1-2 minutes or until the mozzarella on top starts to get dark golden brown.

Notes
Drain the artichoke hearts! Whether you’re using marinated or canned artichokes, drain them thoroughly or the dip will be watery.
Shred your own cheese! Pre-shredded cheese is coated in cellulose which prevents it from clumping and keeps it from melting easily. Shred your cheese at home for the best texture and flavor.
Add a pinch of cayenne pepper! A hint of heat is a great addition to this rich, creamy dip so feel free to add a pinch of cayenne if you like.
Serve this artichoke dip with my easy crostini recipe! Perfectly crispy little slices of French baguette are the ideal accompaniment for this artichoke dip.
