1 medium leek, thinly sliced and quartered, or 1/3 cup sliced green onions
2 teaspoons margarine or butter
1 14-ounce can artichoke hearts, drained and coarsely chopped
1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 7-ounce jar roasted red sweet peppers, drained and coarsely chopped
1 cup mayonnaise, salad dressing, or light mayonnaise dressing*
1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 tablespoon snipped fresh parsley
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan or Romano cheese
Assorted vegetable dippers, flat breads, or assorted crackers


In a skillet cook sliced leek or onion in hot margarine or butter until tender but not brown. Remove from heat. Stir in artichoke hearts, the 1 cup Parmesan cheese, roasted red peppers, mayonnaise, and black pepper.
Transfer mixture to an 8-inch quiche dish or 9-inch pie plate, spreading evenly. Sprinkle with parsley and the 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese.
Bake, uncovered, in a 350 oven about 20 minutes or until heated through. Serve with assorted cut-up raw vegetable dipping sticks, flat breads, or crackers.

*Note: Do not make with fat-free mayonnaise. Dip will not set

This sounds very good! When you say hot, how quickly do you serve it up after taking it out of the oven? Cause I noticed you said it won't set up with fat free mayo, so I am thinking there is a time delay after taking it out of the oven so it sets up?
Thanks!

I serve this within a few minutes of taking out of the oven. I'm thinking with the fat-free it just won't thicken while baking. There may be more water content in the fat-free mayo.
