For an extra touch of elegance, serve the Artichoke Bites on a platter garnished with fresh flat-leaf parsley or baby spinach. Feel free to experiment with different cheeses! A touch of Pecorino Romano or a sprinkle of Asiago can add a unique depth of flavor. If you're short on time, you can use pre-grated Parmesan cheese, but freshly grated will always provide the best flavor and texture. These Artichoke Bites can be prepared a day in advance. Just ensure they are tightly covered in the refrigerator to prevent them from drying out.

Follow The Directions
01
StepIn a medium bowl, gently combine the freshly grated Parmesan cheese and chopped fresh parsley. Set aside this aromatic blend for coating. (5 minutes)
02
StepIn a separate, larger bowl, whisk together the softened cream cheese, goat cheese, zesty lemon zest, dried tarragon, and freshly ground black pepper until the mixture is smooth and impeccably blended. (7 minutes)
03
StepDelicately fold in the bite-size artichoke hearts to the cheese mixture, ensuring each piece is generously coated without breaking them apart. The key here is a gentle touch. (5 minutes)
04
StepCarefully toss the artichoke and cheese mixture with the Parmesan-parsley blend, until each artichoke piece is thoroughly and beautifully coated. (3 minutes)
05
StepTransfer the coated artichoke bites to a baking sheet lined with wax paper or parchment paper, ensuring they are not overcrowded. Cover the baking sheet with plastic wrap. (2 minutes)
06
StepRefrigerate for at least 1 hour, or until firm to the touch. This chilling period allows the flavors to meld and the bites to set perfectly. (60 minutes)
07
StepRemove the artichoke bites from the refrigerator approximately 30 minutes before serving. This slight warming enhances their creamy texture and aromatic profile. Serve slightly chilled for the best experience. (30 minutes)
