2 cups artichoke hearts (if using canned, drain thoroughly), finely chopped

1 cup mild provolone, grated
3/4 cup parmesan cheese, grated
1/2 cup mayonnaise

1 head garlic
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon onion powder

Preheat oven to 375º F.
Cut the top off head of garlic and drizzle olive oil over the exposed garlic.
Wrap tightly in aluminum foil and roast for 45 minutes, or until garlic is soft and tender.
Remove from oven and let cool, then squeeze roasted garlic out into a small bowl and mash with a fork.
In a large bowl, combine mayonnaise, yogurt, cream cheese, onion powder, salt and pepper, and stir together.
Mix in chopped artichokes and roasted garlic, then add fontina and provolone cheese.
Taste and adjust seasoning, if necessary.
Transfer mixture to a large baking dish and cover with paprika and parmesan cheese.

Remove from oven and serve immediately with sliced bread.
