Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1/2 medium yellow onion, diced small
- 3 garlic cloves, finely chopped
- 3 cans (14 ounces each) whole artichoke hearts, drained and coarsely chopped
- 1/3 cup dry white wine
- 4 ounces Neufchatel cream cheese, room temperature
- 2 1/4 cups cubed fontina cheese (about 3/4 pound)
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
- 8 pitas, each cut into 6 wedges
Directions
-
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon oil over medium. Add onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, 1 minute. Add artichokes and wine; cook until liquid evaporates, about 8 minutes.
-
Remove skillet from heat and stir in Neufchatel until blended. Fold in 1 1/4 cups fontina and parsley. Transfer mixture to a 2-quart baking dish; sprinkle with 1 cup fontina. Bake until golden and bubbling, 30 minutes.
-
Meanwhile, in a large bowl, toss pitas with 1 tablespoon oil; spread on a rimmed baking sheet. Bake until golden and crisp, 15 to 20 minutes. Serve warm dip with pita chips.
I found this quite bland, so did my kids. We like the old fav of artichoke hearts, mayo and parmisan cheese much better.
Made this dip a couple of times now. Every time it is wonderful. Everybody wants more. I will double recipe next time. It's a keeper
Just made this recipe for Thanksgiving and everybody loved it! I did some modifications: add leeks and we ate with baguette instead of pita bread.
This recipe is big, I prepared in two separate baking dishes. Will make it again.
Just made this and it is in the freezer for a catering job. just to let you all know, a one liter baking dish would be more than sufficient. unless it is meant to be one inch thick.
So glad this recipe is still here, I made it a couple years ago and we all loved it! served with veggie sticks
LOVED this recipe - my results are here: http://marthaandme.wordpress.com/2010/02/26/artichoke-dip-with-fontina/
I would highly recommend halving this recipe or preparing it in two small baking dishes and freezing one for another time, unless you are entertaining a big crowd. This recipe makes a lot! It was delicious though.
This is a great app. Easy to prepare and everyone loves it. It disappears within minutes.
