Crostini with Artichoke Spread
This is a perfect appetizer dish! It’s quick, easy to make & is a crowd pleaser. My friend Lainie introduced me to this artichoke dip years ago & it has been a favorite of mine ever since. So a big thank you to Lainie!
I’ve switched up the original recipe just a tad by adding roasted garlic instead of minced garlic & some lemon juice for a little pizazz. You can easily use minced garlic if you don’t have any roasted on hand! In my garlic loving opinion, you CAN’T have enough garlic in this recipe so add to your hearts content. You can also control the level of heat by adding as much or as little hot sauce as you like, or should I say dare! Taste as you go. Remember, as always, much easier to add than to try & take away. You can make this ahead of time and then just reheat before you’re ready to serve. Also would be great served in a bread bowl! It’s a great go to appetizer!
Crostini with Artichoke Spread
2 cans of artichoke hearts – drained
3/4 cup of mayonaise
hot sauce – season to taste
4-6 cloves of roasted garlic
1/2 cup of parmigiano reggiano cheese – grated
tiny squeeze of fresh lemon juice
s/p – season to taste
french baguette – sliced & toasted
Preheat your oven to 350. In a food processor add all ingredients. Season with salt & pepper. Pulse to desired consistency. Spray a small baking dish with cooking spray. Pour mixture into dish. Bake for 30-40 minutes until top is bubbly & color is golden. Prior to serving, toast your bread & then spread dip on slices & serve warm. Garnish with more grated parmigiano reggiano & pepper!
Buon Appetito!

i love having crostini with homemade spread..your recipe sounds fantastci
I don’t buy nearly as much artichoke as I should. This sounds amazing.
That looks nice.
Have you tried grana padano? I use it a lot of the time because parmesan is a little tough to get around here, unless you buy those Kraft shakers… which I don’t think is good at all!
MMMMMMMMMMMM….simple yet so flavourfull!!!
Oh, bell’alimento, you never disappoint! Just another delicious recipe I can’t wait to try!
This looks amazing. I just love your site!
Thanks! I’m actually attempting Chicken Cacciatore tonight for dinner. I’m pretty excited to see how it turns out!
yum! anything with artichokes is fantastic!
You’re speaking my language – I love artichokes and this sounds like a wonderful combo!
Wow, delicious spread – love artichokes! Great recipe!
Great site. I will enjoy being friends. I am grabbing your button for my blog. I hope you will do the same. DCRose
I have crostini and I have a lot of artichoke hearts. I am so making this with my ravioli lasagna this week.
What a beautiful blog Paula! I love the artichoke crostini recipe.. What a winner and keeper.. Bookmarked!
Seems like a quick and easy mix and bake dish for a party. Thanks for sharing this recipe!
Hey Paula, I am a big artichoke and garlic fan. This is a must try for me, thanks!
Artichoke Spread was wonderful and so simple. Used the rest of the roasted garlic to toss with some shrimp and lemon. Simple and gorgeous Friday night fare.
I am addicted to this stuff now!
This artichoke dip recipe sounds great. I have another version where I add a tiny bit of softened cream chees to the mayonoise. I also add diced leftover roasted ham to the dip. I serve mine warm with pita wedges drizzled with evoo and sprinkled with parm. cheese. I am the foodie in my circle of friends and they always know when I entertain they will be treated to dishes that are unique. I am from Michigan and an artist so the foodie part is quite natural to me. I look forward to viewing other recipes.
Thanks Mary! Your version sounds delish!
