Method
 

Preparation
  1. Start by bringing a large pot of water to a rolling boil.
  2. Carefully pluck off the outer leaves surrounding the stem. Remove about 6-8 leaves, and then slice off the top third of each artichoke to expose the heart.
  3. Take a large spoon and gently scrape out the fuzzy choke in the center of each artichoke.
  4. Place the prepared artichokes in the boiling water, cooking them for 15-20 minutes until tender. Remove and drain excess water.
  5. Allow the artichokes to cool until you can handle them comfortably. Remove all outer leaves, leaving just the heart and stem intact.
  6. In a bowl, combine the Parmesan, mozzarella, mayonnaise, minced garlic, lemon zest, lemon juice, chopped parsley, and salt and pepper. Mix until creamy.
  7. Generously stuff each artichoke with the cheesy filling and arrange them on a baking sheet.
  8. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the stuffed artichokes for 20-25 minutes until lightly browned and bubbly.
