Hot Artichoke Dip Cups

YieldMakes 2 dozen

From Halfway Homemade by Parrish Ritchie

INGREDIENTS

  • 1 (14-ounce) can artichoke hearts, water-packed, drained and chopped
  • 1 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 1 (8-ounce) can crescent-roll dough or 1 (8-count) can crescent rolls
  • Scallions, chopped, for garnish

INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F. Grease a 24-well mini-muffin tin.

  2. Mix all of the ingredients except the crescent rolls until thoroughly combined.

  3. Unroll the crescent-roll dough or crescent rolls.

  4. If using crescent rolls, press the seams together to make four rectangles.

  5. Cut the dough into 24 squares.

  6. Place one square of dough in each muffin well and spread it up the sides. Fill each crescent cup with the dip, being careful not to overfill them.

  7. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, until lightly browned.

  8. Garnish with scallions.

Notes

Artichoke dip is a classic appetizer. It uses very few ingredients and is always a favorite. I love to take classics and update them with a little twist, a new spin! That’s why I came up with these dip cups. You might be thinking artichoke dip is a little retro, but it will always be a crowd-pleaser! Plus, everything retro comes back around — ’70s bell-bottoms, ’80s crimped hair (let’s just hope the ’90s fashion doesn’t!). These perfectly poppable little bites of flaky dough and rich artichoke dip are a fabulous combination and perfect for any party! Tip: You can throw some thawed and drained frozen spinach into the mix, too!
