Cheesy Spinach Artichoke Bread Bowl is a warm, melty appetizer where a hollowed-out bread loaf is filled with a creamy spinach and artichoke dip, then baked until bubbly and golden — perfect for parties and game days.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 large round loaf of sourdough or artisan bread
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 (10 oz) package frozen spinach, thawed and squeezed dry
  • 1 (14 oz) can artichoke hearts, drained and chopped
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional: red pepper flakes for heat

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Cut the top off the bread loaf and hollow out the center, leaving about 1-inch thickness on the sides. Save the inner bread chunks for dipping.
  3. In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add garlic and sauté for 1 minute.
  4. Add spinach and artichokes, cooking for 2–3 minutes until heated through. Remove from heat.
  5. In a large bowl, mix cream cheese, sour cream, and mayonnaise until smooth. Stir in mozzarella, Parmesan, spinach-artichoke mixture, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes if using.
  6. Spoon the mixture into the hollowed bread bowl. Place on a baking sheet.
  7. Bake for 20–25 minutes, until the dip is hot and bubbly and the top is lightly golden.
  8. Serve warm with the reserved bread chunks or crackers on the side.

Notes

  • You can use fresh spinach — just sauté until wilted and chop before adding.
  • Prepare the filling ahead and refrigerate, then bake just before serving.
  • For extra crunch, toast the bread chunks for dipping.
  • To make it extra cheesy, top with more mozzarella before baking.
