This is totally delicious and one of those handy recipes we pull out when we're having a large party. Depending on the crowd we sometimes add 2 minced jalapeño peppers for a spicier version. Ingredients:
12 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature |
4 ounces sharp white cheddar cheese, grated |
1/3 cup sour cream |
1/4 cup hellmann mayonnaise |
3 tablespoons dijon mustard |
2 teaspoons worcestershire sauce |
3 (6 ounce) jars marinated artichoke hearts, drained and coarsely chopped |
1/2 lb cooked shrimp, shelled, deveined and cut into 1/4 inch pieces |
2 ounces fresh mozzarella cheese, cheese finely chopped |
2 shallots, minced |
3 tablespoons fresh thyme leaves or 1 tablespoon dried thyme |
paprika, for sprinkling |
tortilla chips or pita bread round, for serving |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 375°F. 2. Using an electric mixer, combine the cream cheese, cheddar, sour cream, mayonnaise, mustard and Worcestershire sauce until well blended. 3. Add the artichoke hearts, shrimp, mozzarella, shallots, and thyme and mix well. 4. Transfer to a baking dish, sprinkle lightly with paprika, and bake until golden brown, 20 to 30 minutes. 5. Serve hot with chips. |
