Artichoke, Jalapeno and Cheese Dip is a creamy, slightly spicy appetizer – that’s also quick and easy to prepare!
I love artichokes, and have since I was a little girl. I have several artichoke dip recipes in my files, and this one is a favorite. Artichoke hearts are combined with jalapeno pepper for a bit of spice, green onion, garlic and three cheeses – cream, goat and Parmesan. You can either heat it on the cooktop or bake it – I provide directions for both. The result is ooey, gooey deliciousness!
This dip comes together quickly and easily – from beginning to end in around 30 minutes.

- Kosher salt, to taste
- Fresh ground pepper, to taste

- In a medium mixing bowl, using a fork mash together the cream cheese, goat cheese and Parmesan cheese. Stir in the artichoke hearts, peppers, onions, garlic and cayenne. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

Notes
Make ahead: mixture can be prepared but not baked up to 24 hours in advance. Cover and store in the refrigerator. Bring to room temperature before heating.
Note on jalapenos: if you like spice, leave some of the seeds in. If you leave all of them in, it will be very spicy!
Oven variation: place artichoke-cheese mixture in a shallow baking dish and bake at 350 degrees for around 15 to 20 minutes, or until bubbly and heated through.
