Baked Artichoke Parmesan Cheese Dip (No Mayo!) image

I have a mayo phobia and was ecstatic to find an artichoke cheese dip that is completely mayo-free... This is a great recipe for parties. If making for an appetizer for a smaller gathering for 4-6 people, I would recommend scaling back the recipe and making 2/3 unless you want leftovers (which are still delicious by the way!). Serve with sliced baguette, tortilla chips, or crudites.
