Baked feta cheese and artichoke dip is a delicious appetizer that is perfect for any occasion. The dish features a combination of feta cheese, cream cheese, artichokes, garlic, and herbs, all baked together until warm and bubbly.
To make this dish, start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a mixing bowl, combine 8 oz. of feta cheese, 8 oz. of cream cheese, 1 can of artichoke hearts (drained and chopped), 2 cloves of minced garlic, 2 tablespoons of chopped fresh parsley, 1 tablespoon of chopped fresh dill, 1 tablespoon of lemon juice, and a pinch of black pepper. Mix everything together until well combined.
Transfer the mixture into a small baking dish, and smooth out the top with a spatula. Bake the dip for 25-30 minutes, or until it is golden brown and bubbly on top.
Remove the dip from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with some extra chopped herbs if desired, and serve with toasted pita chips, crostini, or sliced baguette. The creamy, tangy, and slightly salty flavor of the feta cheese pairs perfectly with the mild flavor of the artichokes, while the herbs add a fresh and aromatic touch to the dish.
