Artichoke and Asiago dip is one of my guilty pleasures. It is decadence in a bowl and the flavours of the tangy artichoke and the rich cheese are just perfect, in my opinion.
This recipe, spotted on Cityline, takes the best of those flavours and bakes them in to an appetizer square. They are dead simple to make in just a few minutes in a food processor (or blender in a pinch) and would make a great addition to a holiday party as they are so easy to grab and eat.

- 2 cups jarred marinated artichokes, drained

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 °F. Grease and line with parchment paper (to make it easy to get them out!) an 8-inch square pan, so that the paper hangs over the sides.
- In a food processor, pulse artichokes, spinach, onion, garlic, lemon juice and oregano until finely chopped but not puréed. Pulse in eggs, then pulse in breadcrumbs and Asiago cheese. Scrape the mixture into a prepared pan and spread to level. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes until set.

It was missing from method. It should have been added with the garlic and oregano. I’ve added it to the method now. Thanks for letting me know. – Jen
The recipe calls for lemon juice but nowhere in the instructions are you told to add it. I missed it and added after the baking??
This exact recipe was aired on the Food TV Canada cooking show “FRESH with Anna Olsen”. I haven’t made them yet, but I’m excited to try them. The flavour combination sounds amazing!!
