- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1/4 tsp black pepper

Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare it for baking the artichoke mixture.
- Combine ingredients: In a mixing bowl, mix together the chopped artichoke hearts, grated Parmesan cheese, softened cream cheese, mayonnaise, minced garlic, black pepper, salt, and lemon juice until well blended.
- Transfer to baking dish: Spoon the combined mixture evenly into a suitable baking dish, spreading it out to ensure even cooking.

Notes
- For an extra crispy top, broil for an additional 2-3 minutes after baking but watch carefully to prevent burning.
- Serve with toasted baguette slices or crackers as a delicious appetizer.
- You can substitute mayonnaise with Greek yogurt for a tangier, lighter version.
- Adding chopped spinach or red pepper flakes can provide variations in flavor and texture.
