Method
 

Instructions
  1. Step 1: Prepare the Ingredients - Start by draining the sun-dried tomatoes and artichoke hearts. Roughly chop them and set them aside. Make sure your cream cheese and goat cheese are at room temperature to ensure a smooth blend.
  2. Step 2: Mix the Base - In a large mixing bowl, add the softened cream cheese and goat cheese. Use a spatula to combine them until smooth and creamy.
  3. Step 3: Add the Creaminess - Next, add the sour cream to the cheese mixture. Stir well until everything is fully combined and creamy.
  4. Step 4: Incorporate the Flavor - Add in the minced garlic, kosher salt, freshly ground black pepper, and hot sauce. Mix until evenly incorporated.
  5. Step 5: Fold in the Veggies - Gently fold in the chopped sun-dried tomatoes, artichoke hearts, and fresh basil until evenly distributed throughout the dip.
  6. Step 6: Chill and Serve - Transfer the dip to your serving dish. For best results, cover it and let it chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Serve with your choice of pita chips, crackers, or fresh veggies.

Notes

  • This dip can be made a day in advance, making it perfect for parties!
  • Feel free to experiment with different herbs like dill or parsley instead of basil.
  • If you prefer a smoother dip, blend the ingredients in a food processor.
  • For a unique twist, try adding a bit of chipotle aioli for a smoky flavor.
