Instructions

Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit to ensure it reaches the right temperature while you prepare the dip.
Mix the ingredients: In a large bowl, combine mayonnaise, parmesan, minced garlic, chopped artichoke hearts, roasted red pepper, lemon juice, dried basil, dried oregano, kosher salt, and pepper. Stir thoroughly until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
Prepare for baking: Transfer the mixture into a baking dish, pie plate, or individual ramekins, spreading it out evenly.
Bake the dip: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 20 to 25 minutes until the dip is golden on top, bubbling, and melted through.
Finish and serve: Remove from the oven and immediately sprinkle extra parmesan and chopped fresh chives over the top. Serve warm with pita bread, crackers, or baguette slices for dipping.

Notes

For a lighter version, substitute half the mayonnaise with Greek yogurt.
Use fresh artichoke hearts if available for a more vibrant flavor, adjusting cooking time accordingly.
This dip can be prepared ahead and refrigerated; bake just before serving.
For added heat, add a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes to the mixture.
To keep leftovers, store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days; reheat before serving.
