A warm, creamy spinach artichoke dip baked inside a rustic bread bowl, perfect for last-minute gatherings and cozy snacks. This dip combines tangy artichokes, tender spinach, and melty cheeses for a comforting, crowd-pleasing treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 10 oz frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed dry (or fresh sautéed and drained)
  • 14 oz jarred artichoke hearts, drained and chopped
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • ½ cup sour cream
  • ¼ cup mayonnaise
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1 large round rustic bread loaf (sourdough or country bread)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Slice off the top 2-3 inches of the rustic bread loaf using a serrated knife. Carefully hollow out the center, leaving about a 1-inch thick wall all around. Set aside the bread chunks for dipping.
  3. Thaw frozen spinach completely and squeeze out excess water. Chop drained artichoke hearts into bite-sized pieces.
  4. In a large mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese, sour cream, and mayonnaise. Stir until smooth and creamy.
  5. Fold in grated Parmesan, shredded mozzarella, minced garlic, and lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  6. Gently fold in the prepared spinach and chopped artichokes, mixing evenly but not mashing.
  7. Spoon the creamy mixture into the hollowed bread loaf, packing it in without overfilling.
  8. Place the filled bread bowl on a baking sheet and bake for 25-30 minutes until the top is golden and bubbly.
  9. Remove from oven and let cool slightly before serving. Use reserved bread chunks for dipping.

Notes

Drain spinach and artichokes thoroughly to avoid watery dip and soggy bread. Soften cream cheese to room temperature for smoother mixing. Leave about 1-inch thickness when hollowing bread to maintain structure. Tent with foil if bread browns too quickly. Dip can be prepared a day ahead and refrigerated before baking.
