This is a SUPERB dish to bring to a potluck or to serve as an hors d’oeuvre at a little gathering. It’s by no means low-fat or low-cal, but don’t skimp! This recipe is absolutely delicious and worth the splurge!
Ingredients:
1 small/medium sourdough circular bread loaf
2 medium loaves sourdough bread
1 cup real mayo
1 cup full-fat sour cream
2 cups grated freshly grated parmesan cheese*
2 cans artichoke bottoms, thoroughly rinsed
2-4 cloves garlic
* I describe how I grate parmesan cheese at the end of my post about Cilantro Pesto.
(Some dip leftovers that didn’t make it into the bread bowl.)
Directions:
1. With a sharp knife, cut top off circular bread. Dig out insides and rip into bite-sized pieces. Cut other loaves into bite-sized chunks. Set aside.
2. In a food processor or blender, blend mayo, sour cream, parm, artichokes, and garlic until a fairly smooth puree.
3. Spoon dip into the bread and bake in a 350 oven for 20 minutes. Serve hot! (I promise it’ll be devoured in minutes.) Or, for a shortcut method, heat dip in a glass dish in the microwave until hot; then transfer dip to bread bowl and bake until edges of bowl are cripsy (about 10 minutes).

ooh that looks so good!
Okay, so now I have to make it for a Xmas gathering I’m going to. BUT, I have to say that I do skimp; I use real mayo but I always use non-fat sour cream and you’d NEVER know it! Promise. Still delicious.
