Description
A warm, shareable appetizer combining tangy sourdough with a creamy spinach-artichoke filling, perfect for parties.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 large sourdough bread round
- 1 cup fresh spinach, chopped
- 1 cup canned artichoke hearts, drained and chopped
- 1 cup cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Slice a crisscross pattern into the top of the sourdough bread, making deep cuts but not cutting all the way through the loaf.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, shredded mozzarella, grated parmesan, chopped spinach, chopped artichoke hearts, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Stir until smooth and evenly distributed.
- Stuff the cheese and spinach mixture into the cuts of the bread, pushing it into each pocket. Drizzle with olive oil and wrap tightly in foil.
- Bake for about 15–20 minutes until the cheese has melted and the bread is heated through. Unwrap and bake for an additional 5–7 minutes to brown the top.
- Let rest for a minute, then serve warm, allowing guests to pull apart cheesy pieces.
Notes
Use room-temperature cream cheese for a smoother filling. Squeeze excess liquid from canned artichokes and dry spinach to avoid sogginess.
