Artichoke Dip With Crispy Shallots

• 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for frying
• 2 large shallots-1 minced, 1 thinly sliced
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• One 9-ounce package frozen artichoke hearts, thawed and drained
• 1/4tup dry white wine
• 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
• 1 cup shredded Gruyere cheese (3 ounces)
• 2 tablespoons finely chopped parsley
• 1 1/2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon Tabasco
• 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese
• Kosher salt
• Freshly ground pepper
• 1/4 cup panko
• Toast points and assorted crudites, such as blanched broccoli or romanesco florets, red bell pepper strips and fennel wedges, for serving

1. 1. Preheat the oven to 400u0b0. In a medium skillet, heat the 2 tablespoons of olive oil until shimmering. Add the minced shallot and garlic and cook over moderately low heat, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the artichokes and cook over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, until heated through, about 5 minutes. Add the wine and simmer until most of the liquid has evaporated, about 3 minutes; let the mixture cool.
2. 2. In a medium bowl, combine the cream cheese with the Gruyere, parsley, lemon juice, Tabasco and 1/2 cup of the Parmigiano. Fold in the artichoke mixture and season the dip with salt and pepper. Scrape into a shallow 3-cup baking dish and smooth the surface. Sprinkle the panko and remaining 2 tablespoons of Parmigiano on top. Bake for about 20 minutes, until heated through and lightly golden on top.
3. 3. Meanwhile, in a small skillet, heat 1/4 inch of olive oil until shimmering. Add the sliced shallot and fry over moderate heat, stirring, until golden and crisp, about 5 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the fried shallot to paper towels to drain and cool. Sprinkle the fried shallot on top of the artichoke dip and serve with toast points and crudites.
4. MAKE AHEAD The unbaked dip can be refrigerated overnight; the fried shallot can be kept at room temperature. Bring the dip to room temperature before baking.
