Description

This cheesy, gooey pull-apart bread is the ultimate party appetizer, combining creamy spinach-artichoke dip with crusty sourdough.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 large round sourdough bread loaf
  • 1 cup frozen chopped spinach, thawed and drained
  • 1 can (14 oz) artichoke hearts, drained and chopped
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Cut the sourdough bread into a grid pattern, making 1-inch cuts but not cutting through the bottom crust.
  3. In a medium bowl, combine the spinach, artichoke hearts, cream cheese, sour cream, mayonnaise, mozzarella, Parmesan, garlic, salt, and pepper. Mix until well blended.
  4. Stuff the spinach-artichoke mixture into the cuts in the bread, pressing it down gently.
  5. Wrap the bread in foil and place on a baking sheet. Bake for 20 minutes.
  6. Unwrap the bread and bake for an additional 10 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  7. Sprinkle with fresh parsley if desired. Serve warm by pulling apart the pieces.

Notes

For extra spice, add 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes to the dip mixture. You can also use a gluten-free bread if needed.
