 Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
  8      oz            Cream cheese
 12      oz            Mozzarella cheese -- shredded
  1      c             Mayonnaise
  1      c             Parmesan cheese -- grated
  1                    Onion -- finely chopped
  2      cl            Garlic -- finely chopped
  2      sm            Jars marinated artichoke hearts -- drain well
  2      bags          Pita bread

The following appetizer is sure to be a crowd pleaser.  I have never
taken  it anywhere without being asked for the recipe:

Tear artichokes apart with your fingers.

Cut up pita bread into chip size triangles, separate and bake on a
cookie  sheet until crispy (approximately 5 minutes).  Combine all
other ingredients and mash (a KitchenAid mixer works great).

Bake in a uncovered casserole dish for approx 30 minutes @ 350 F or
until bubbly.

Serve hot out of the oven and scoop up dip with pita bread. If  you
intend to take this to a party or are having friends over be prepared
to recite this recipe a number of times.  My wife and I bring Xerox
copies with us!

I downloaded this recipe off the internet about 6 years ago and I
have made it several times. It is quite good. I usually add some
chopped green chiles.
