Vampire Dip

Directions

1. 1
   Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
2. 2
   Peel and mince garlic cloves.
3. 3
   Then, sprinkle a pinch of salt onto the minced garlic, and mash with a fork until it becomes a lumpy paste (this helps reduce the amount of large garlic chunks in the finished product, and is an optional step).
4. 4
   In a large bowl, combine garlic, shredded Parmesan, cream cheese, mayo, artichokes, salt and pepper.
5. 5
   Mix until ingredients are evenly distributed.
6. 6
   Spread into a greased (8x8 or similar) baking dish, put the lid on and bake for 30 minutes.
7. 7
   Remove lid and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until browned and bubbly on top.
8. 8
   Serve with French bread, or, for the authentic Slaters experience, toasted pita wedges.
