Instructions
Instructions are for 4 servings. Please modify as needed.
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
Rinse, strain, and pat dry the artichokes.Place them in a 9” x 9” (23 x 23 cm) baking dish.
Pour cream evenly over the artichokes. Grate the zest from the lemon and set aside.
Juice the lemon and drizzle the juice over the cream and artichokes. Evenly sprinkle the grated parmesan over the artichokes.
Top the dish with the lemon zest, thyme and black pepper.

Tips
You can use fresh, jarred, or canned artichokes; just be sure to avoid those packaged in oils. You can also add cooked shredded chicken or seafood to this dish to make it a full meal.
You can also use pecorino cheese instead of parmesan.
While fresh thyme is what makes this dish really flavorful, you can use 1 teaspoon of dried thyme.

I have this baking in my oven right now, what a great and unusual recipe! I wanted to note that it can still be a ‘full meal’ without adding meat or seafood. I’m not a vegetarian but a meatless meal option sometimes is fine, and with flavors like these, imo meat isn’t needed. Looking forward to having this for lunch with some greens. On days I am not sticking to LCHF meal plans, a nice crusty bread would go well. Thank you for this recipe- I’ll post pics when ready!

Wondering if this can be prepped in advance and frozen in a casserole dish for a future meal?

Refrigeration would be a better choice than freezing. Dishes with cream or cheese tend to separate when thawed and re-heated. It won't affect taste though, just texture.

Made this as a last minute addition to Christmas dinner. It got rave reviews! Especially from those who don't love artichokes. Thanks for a great recipe!

These were a bit lemony for us BUT if we toned it down some then we would love it.

Loved this recipe! Took it to Thanksgiving and there was none left to bring home. I doubled it and cooked it in a pie plate. It was very pretty.

I made these today. Easy, quick, and I think pretty darn good! If you like artichokes you'll really like this recipe. I'd make it for a holiday. I'd like to try it with frozen artichoke hearts instead of canned because the 'canned' taste that is subtly there.

Wow, fabulous! Made this exactly as recipe, except my artichokes were chopped. Still worked great. While the artichoke mixture baked, I sautéed chicken tenders hot and fast in butter then removed from pan, deglazed with wine, added fresh lemon juice to the pan and minced garlic & basil, salt & pepper. Reduced that and added the (now shredded) chicken back to warm. Spooned the baked artichokes on a plate topped with the shredded chicken. I’m addicted! So simple, fast and bursting with fresh flavor. Excellent use of canned artichokes.

Tasty and very satiating. I did it in Air Fryer in a glass dish, it worked without oven!
