Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 can (15 oz) white beans (cannellini or great northern), drained and rinsed
  • 1 can (14 oz) artichoke hearts, drained and chopped
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese (plus extra for topping)
  • 1/4 cup cream cheese (or Greek yogurt for a lighter version)
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise (optional for extra creaminess)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1/2 tsp salt (adjust to taste)
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp crushed red pepper flakes (optional, for heat)
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/2 tsp dried oregano or Italian seasoning
  • 1/4 cup shredded mozzarella (for a gooey topping, optional)

Instructions

  • Stovetop Method:
  • Blend the Base – In a food processor, blend white beans, Parmesan, cream cheese, mayo, lemon juice, garlic, salt, and pepper until smooth.
  • Sauté the Artichokes – Heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Add chopped artichokes and oregano, cooking for 2-3 minutes.
  • Combine & Heat – Add the blended white bean mixture to the pan. Stir and heat for 5 minutes until warm.
  • Melt & Serve – Transfer to a serving bowl, top with extra Parmesan and red pepper flakes. Serve warm!
  • Baked Version (Extra Cheesy!):
  • Preheat Oven – Set to 375°F (190°C).
  • Mix Everything – Blend all ingredients (except mozzarella) in a food processor. Stir in sautéed artichokes.
  • Bake – Transfer to a greased baking dish, top with mozzarella and extra Parmesan. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden and bubbly.
  • Serve Hot – Let it cool slightly, then serve with chips, bread, or veggies!

Notes

  • Make it Dairy-Free? Use nutritional yeast instead of Parmesan and dairy-free cream cheese.
  • Want it spicier? Add extra chili flakes or a dash of hot sauce.
  • Great for Meal Prep! Store in the fridge for up to 4 days and reheat before serving.
