Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients for the best flavor. Fresh artichoke hearts, creamy Gorgonzola cheese, and tangy Parmesan cheese are all essential.
- Don't overcook the artichoke hearts. They should be tender but still have a slight crunch.
- If you don't have a food processor, you can mash the artichoke hearts and cheese together with a fork. However, a food processor will give you a smoother consistency.
- Serve the spread immediately or store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- The spread can be served as an appetizer, a dip, or a sandwich spread.
