Preparation

Preheat oven to 350 °F (180 °C).

In a medium bowl, with a wooden spoon, combine Fromage Frais and sour cream until smooth. Stir in Cheddar cheese, artichokes, tomatoes, pepper flakes and pepper; taste and adjust seasoning. Stir in pesto.

Spoon into shallow 2 cup (500 mL) baking dish. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until warmed through and bubbling around the edges. Sprinkle with fresh basil and parsley, if using.

Serve with corn tortillas, pitas or grilled sour dough bread.

Tips

The fresh herbs and the pesto are optional but they do bring freshness to the dish. Kick up the heat and increase the amount of hot pepper flakes.
