Baked Artichoke Fondue
This warm Baked Artichoke Fondue was inspired by a recent work-related Christmas party we attended at a friends house. They served a fabulous array of foods, and one of the dishes was a creamy artichoke dip served in a chaffing dish. Usually artichokes are paired with spinach in dips, but, this one featured artichokes as the star ingredient. It was so tasty, I was inspired to came home and put my own spin on a baked version. This recipe is the result.
Tips for Making Baked Artichoke Fondue
- You can bake this dip fondue in a baking dish as I did, or in a large hollowed out bread bowl.
- When baking in a bread bowl, be certain to wrap the bottom and sides in foil for added support or, it can break while baking.
- You can adapt this artichoke dip using a different cheese, if you like.
- Serve this creamy dip with crackers, pita chips, crostini or pull apart bread for dipping.
