1 lb. cream cheese, softened
1 c. yogurt/sour cream/mayo (any combination will do)
1 c. chopped artichoke hearts or any tapenade
1 c. chopped spinach
1/4 c. chopped basil
2 cloves of garlic, minced
1/2 c. grated Parmesan
salt/pepper to taste
Combine all ingredients and mix until smooth. Place into a casserole dish and bake at 375 degrees until the top is bubbly and starting to brown. Serve warm with bread, veggies and crackers.
This is quite versatile. I have used olives, bell pepper, eggplant or green chilies instead of artichokes. I've also mixed in other cheeses. It is always a hit at a party and you can easily scale the recipe to accommodate any size crowd.
