The ingredients
Cream cheese. I preferred low-fat cream cheese, which is leaner. However, you may try the classic cream cheese as well.
Cheddar cheese. Gives an excellent texture to jalapeno artichoke dip and adds nice flavors. Feel free to use extra sharp cheddar or sharp cheddar cheese.
Mozzarella cheese. You should not skip this if you're looking for a cheesy dip.
Mayo. Choose what you regularly use. I went with light mayo.
Sour cream. Gives acidity and a punch to this jalapeno artichoke dip.
Pickled jalapeño. A pantry-friendly choice. Also, my family loves the pickled jalapeno’s flavor. If you have fresh jalapenos, you may deseed and mince them before adding.
Artichokes. Again, I chose canned artichoke as it's been pantry-friendly. As mentioned above, you may also include chopped fresh artichokes if they are in season.
Onion and garlic powder. This spice combo adds robust flavors and earthy notes.
How to make jalapeno artichoke dip
Preheat the oven to 350°F.
Place a small baking dish and spray it with nonstick cooking spray. Set aside.
Drain and discard the liquid that comes along with the artichoke hearts. Squeeze the Arctic artichokes to drain the excess liquid and chop it finely.
Chop the jalapeno pickles as well.
Add cream cheese, parmesan cheese, cheddar cheese, sour cream, mayo, onion powder, garlic powder, minced jalapeno pickle, and chopped artichoke hearts in a mixing bowl.
And combine them well.
Add the mixture to the baking dish and spread evenly.
And bake it for about 20 minutes or until it's melty.
Optionally, you may broil for 2 minutes or until the top layer gets golden to provide some character.
Serve warm with bread, chips, or veggies.
Variations
Low calorie. To make spicy jalapeno artichoke dip light, use low-fat cream cheese, light mayo, and light sour cream. Or even replace sour cream with Greek yogurt.
Parmesan Cheese. Substitute sharp cheddar cheese with the parmesan cheese for the subtle flavors.
Monterey jack cheese. Swap with cheddar cheese, or add in both.
Spinach. Toss chopped spinach for an extra fiber-loaded variation. This spinach artichoke jalapeno dip is fabulous, too.
Without baking. You may also serve the dip without baking. In this variation, the dip is ready as soon as it is mixed and ready to enjoy.
Slow cooking. Assemble all the ingredients in the slow cooker instead of the baking dish. Cook on low for 1 to 11/2 hours.
Storing ideas
Refrigerate. Store the leftovers in an airtight container. Refrigerate it and use it for up to five days.
Freezing. This jalapeno artichoke dip separates when frozen and thawed. If you prefer freezing, then use the leftover as a salad dressing.
Reheat. To reheat, scoop the jalapeno artichoke dip, transfer it to the microwave-safe bowl, and gently reheat until it's fun until it's warm.
