Artichoke Dip

• 2 - 14 oz. cans of artichokes (packed in water, not oil)
• 2 cups of freshly grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 cup of mayonnaise
• Salt and pepper

Drain the artichokes from the can. Coarsely chop them.

Combine the chopped artichokes, Parmesan, and mayo into a microwave or oven-proof serving dish.

Microwave the mixture on high heat for 5 minutes, pausing occasionally to stir, to ensure that the dip gets heated evenly. Add fresh ground pepper and salt to taste.

Serve the dip with toasted, thinly sliced French baguettes, crackers, or even leaves of endive.
