A delightful warm dip featuring artichoke hearts and a blend of creamy and cheesy goodness.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Ensure your oven is fully preheated for even cooking.
Drain and chop the artichoke hearts into small pieces.
Chopping the artichokes finely ensures they mix well with the other ingredients.
In a mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, sour cream, grated parmesan cheese, garlic powder, and chopped artichoke hearts.
Mix until the ingredients are well incorporated for a smooth texture.
Transfer the mixture into a baking dish and spread it evenly.
Use a spatula to smooth the top for even baking.
Sprinkle the smoked paprika evenly over the top.
The paprika adds a pop of color and a hint of smoky flavor.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes or until the top is bubbly and slightly golden.
Keep an eye on the dip to prevent over-browning.
Serve warm with crackers or baguette slices.
Garnish with fresh herbs for an added touch of freshness.
