A delightful and creamy appetizer perfect for any gathering.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Ensure the oven is fully preheated to achieve even cooking.
Drain the artichoke hearts and chop them into small pieces.
Chopping the artichokes finely ensures a consistent texture in the dip.
In a mixing bowl, combine the chopped artichokes, crab meat, cream cheese, mayonnaise, minced garlic, cayenne pepper, and grated parmesan cheese.
Mix thoroughly to ensure all ingredients are evenly distributed.
Transfer the mixture into an ovenproof dish and spread it out evenly.
Use a spatula to smooth the top for even baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the top is golden and the dip is bubbly.
Keep an eye on the dip to prevent over-browning.
Serve warm with crackers, bread, or vegetable sticks.
Garnish with chopped parsley for a fresh touch.
