2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

ARTICHOKE DIP WITH PARMESAN AND MOZZARELLA



Artichoke Dip With Parmesan and Mozzarella image

I had this dip at my dad's house during Christmas. It was really delicious, and normally I don't even like mayo based dips! We ate it with crackers, bread, and tortilla chips. This is made in the microwave, but if you like all the crusty stuff on top, stick it under the broiler for a minute or two afterwards to brown it. Since I have not made this myself yet and the recipe as written does not have cooking times, the cooking time is a guess, but I would just cook it a minute or two at a time and keep a close watch on it. I did a search and looked through all the relevant matches here for artichoke dip, and did not find this one.

BAKED CHICKEN PARMESAN DIP



Baked Chicken Parmesan Dip image

I love chicken Parmesan, and I love hot, baked dips, so it was only a matter of time before I did a hot chicken Parmesan dip. I would make this again even if it were hard to do, but luckily it's super easy. Unlike actual chicken Parmesan where that crispy breading gets soggy super fast, this goes over crunchy toast so the textural experience is probably even better. Serve hot, warm, or room temperature, with lots of crispy crostini.
