Hot Artichoke Dip is a creamy dip that’s a cinch to make. Perfect for gatherings and served with homemade Garlic Toast Rounds.
Updated November 2018
Creamy Hot Artichoke Dip has been in play in my family entertaining lineage for a few generations now.
A creamy, cheesy dip that’s tangy and warmly satisfying. I’ve updated it by adding homemade Garlic Toast Rounds that are easy to make; and something you’ll use for other dips I’m sure!
What is Creamy Hot Artichoke Dip?
This mouthwatering dip is a combination of several ingredients pureed together and baked to a creamy, scoopable consistency.
It’s a hot dip that adds sophistication and something unique to gatherings and parties.
Ingredients in Hot Artichoke Dip
Canned artichoke hearts are combined with:
- Sour Cream
- Cream Cheese
- Parmesan Cheese
- Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese
Some garlic, a bit of hot sauce and a sprinkle of paprika (regular or smoked) makes this dip a winner.
Garlic Toast Rounds
The dipping garlic toast rounds are simply sliced baguette brushed with homemade garlic butter.
They are broiled for a crusty exterior making them a sturdy dipping partner for the hot artichoke dip.
The underside is left un-broiled for a soft and chewy texture.
TIP: using a slender baguette creates perfectly sized toast rounds for dipping.
A Great Way to Make Homemade Garlic Bread
I also make homemade garlic bread this way! Use a larger baguette and make the garlic bread the same way.
Or instead of cutting baguettes into slices, slice a regular size baguette lengthwise, brush on the homemade garlic butter and broil until golden on the top.
After broiling cut the baguette halves, cut into chunky slices to serve with pasta, lasagna, soup or grilled steak.
Make it Gluten-Free or Regular
Being gluten-free I love the flexibility to make gluten-free garlic toast rounds.
Whether making them gluten-free or regular, select a slender baguette or French dinner rolls!
The instructions are the same for gluten-free or regular baguettes.
