Fried Artichoke Hearts with Gorgonzola Dip

Drain artichokes then cut in half. Pat dry with paper towels. Set aside.

In a small bowl, combine flour and garlic powder.

In a separate bowl, combine breadcrumbs, cornmeal, basil, oregano, and cheese.

Dredge artichokes with flour mixture then dip in beaten egg. Coat completely with the breadcrumb mixture.

Heat oil for deep-frying. Fry the artichokes until golden brown. Drain on paper towels.

To make the sauce, mix the sour cream with the mayonnaise and garlic. Add cheese and mix until well incorporated. Season with some salt and pepper. Chill until ready to serve.
