Ingredients

• 1 lb fresh asparagus
• 8 oz cream cheese
• 1 cup sour cream
• 0.5 cup mayonnaise
• 1 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
• 2 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 1 tbsp lemon juice
• 1 tsp hot sauce
• 0.5 tsp salt
• 0.25 tsp black pepper, freshly ground
• 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or Monterey Jack)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Trim the woody ends from the asparagus and chop the spears into small, bite-sized pieces.

Step 3

Bring a medium-sized pot of water to a boil. Blanch the chopped asparagus for 2–3 minutes until bright green and tender-crisp. Drain and set aside.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, sour cream, mayonnaise, Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, lemon juice, hot sauce, salt, and black pepper. Mix until smooth and well blended.

Step 5

Gently fold in the blanched asparagus pieces, ensuring they are evenly coated with the creamy mixture.

Step 6

Transfer the mixture to a greased baking dish or oven-safe serving dish. Spread it out evenly.

Step 7

Sprinkle the shredded cheese over the top of the dip.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 18–20 minutes or until the dip is hot and bubbly and the cheese on top is golden brown.

Step 9

Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving.

Step 10

Serve warm with crackers, tortilla chips, or fresh vegetable sticks for dipping. Enjoy!
