Artichoke Cheesecake Recipe

Wow your guests with this stunning Artichoke Cheesecake appetizer, a Houston Junior League favorite! Featuring a delicate, flaky phyllo crust and a creamy, savory artichoke filling, this recipe is perfect for elegant gatherings. Even with a thinner crust (using only half the phyllo!), it's a showstopper. Next time, I'm using a full 6 oz jar of marinated artichokes for an even richer flavor.

How to Make Artichoke Cheesecake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Prepare the phyllo crust: Lightly brush 4 sheets of phyllo dough with melted butter and layer them in a 9-inch springform pan, letting the edges overhang. Repeat with the remaining 4 sheets, ensuring a slightly overlapping arrangement.
  3. Bake the crust for 10 minutes, until lightly golden.
  4. Meanwhile, prepare the filling: In a food processor, combine 3 oz (85g) marinated artichoke hearts (or 6oz for an even richer flavor!), 8 oz (227g) cream cheese, softened, 1/2 cup (60g) grated Parmesan cheese, 1/4 cup (30g) chopped fresh rosemary, 2 large eggs, and salt and pepper to taste. Process until smooth.
  5. Pour the filling into the pre-baked phyllo crust.
  6. Bake for 70 minutes, or until the cheesecake is set and lightly golden brown.
  7. Let cool completely before removing from the springform pan.
  8. Garnish with fresh rosemary sprigs and serve at room temperature.
