This recipe is from a book by Antoni Porowski: Antoni in the Kitchen. Antoni is the food and wine expert on the Netflix show Queer Eye. I love this book for its unique twists on classic recipes.
Some kid-friendly choices in the book include Frenchified Latkes with Chive Sour Cream, Baked Turkey Mac and Cheese, Bucatini Cacio e Pepe, Tomato Basil and Melty Mozzarella Baked Rice, Rainy Day Grilled Cheese with Prosciutto and Easy Tomato Bisque, Turkey Meatballs in Velvety Tomato Sauce, Pineapple Shrimp Skewers with Green Sauce, Turkey Meatloaf with a Block of Sharp Cheddar, Cast Iron Butter Basted Steak. Fun desserts like Peanut Butter Nutella Balls, Chewy Chocolate Chunk Cookies and Vanilla Pots de Creme are included too.
Ingredients needed:
- marinated artichokes
- cream cheese
- Gruyére cheese
- sharp white cheddar cheese
- sour cream
- lemon juice
- fresh rosemary
- freshly ground black pepper
- dipping items (baguette slices, crackers or chips)
Ingredient notes:
Use artichokes that are marinated in oil for the best flavor. I like to use full fat cream cheese and sour cream in dips like this because the flavor will be best with all the fat! Look for good Gruyére and white cheddar. Don’t skimp and get cheap cheese.
How to make Cheesy Lemon Rosemary Artichoke Dip:
This dip couldn’t be any easier to make. Combine all of the dip in ingredients in a bowl, and mix well. Transfer to a baking dish. You can also use a skillet, if you’d like. Bake for about 25 minutes, and that is it!
This fabulous cheesy dip is perfect for serving with toasted baguette slices. Kettle chips, pita chips or pieces of endive are good to use too. You want to use dippers that are sturdy enough to get in there and get a good scoop of that cheesy lemon rosemary artichoke dip!
Did I mention that this is a good party dip? Serve it in its baking dish, and let everyone dip away.
