Ingredients

  1. 1 round loaf sourdough or country bread, 6 to 7 inches in diameter
  2. 2 tablespoons butter
  3. 1 medium shallot, finely chopped
  4. 1 clove garlic, minced
  5. 1 pinch crushed red pepper flakes
  6. 1 pound chopped frozen spinach, thawed
  7. One 15-ounce can quartered artichoke hearts, drained
  8. 6 ounces cream cheese, cubed
  9. 1 cup shredded mozzarella
  10. Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
  11. 3 tablespoons grated Parmesan
  12. Assorted crudites, for serving

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  2. Cut off the top of the bread. Use your fingers to remove the crumb from the center of the bread, leaving only the crust as a wall (discard the crumb or reserve it for another use, such as making breadcrumbs).
  3. Melt the butter in a medium skillet over medium heat, then add the shallots, garlic and red pepper flakes. Cook, stirring occasionally, until softened about 3 minutes. Add the spinach and artichokes and cook, stirring, until hot, about 3 minutes. Add the cream cheese and cook, stirring, until melted. Stir in the mozzarella and season with salt and pepper.
  4. Spoon the mixture into the bread bowl, mounding it slightly if necessary, and sprinkle with the Parmesan. Place the bread and the top side by side on a baking sheet and bake until the bread is hot and crusty and the top of the spinach dip is lightly browned, about 15 minutes. Transfer the bread bowl to a serving platter. Tear the top of the bread into chunks and serve alongside the dip with crudites for dipping.

Tricia..you really need to revisit this recipe and make some changes..even on your tv show this was clearly a big solid blob. Look at other recipes and you will see what youre missing.this is gross.sorry

Before making this spinach artichoke dip, I read the reviews.  Knowing that someone said the dip was “thick”, I added alot less of the spinach and added one tablespoon each of  mayo & sour cream.  Also added a little extra cheese.  I made the dip in two (2) small glass dishes versus baking it in the bread.  I used my toaster oven.  WAS still too thick.  I will not make this again because I prefer an artichoke dip with No spinach. 1 can artichokes (5-7 count chopped in the bottom of casserole dish).  1 cup each of provolone & mozzerella cheese – mayo to taste. Put on top of artichokes.   Bake covered at 350 for 35 min.  Then uncover & cook for 20 min.

Good recipe. Add some chopped water chestnuts from a can

My family really enjoyed this recipe. I didn’t have enough cream cheese, so I added a 1/2 cup of sour cream along with 3 ounces of cream cheese. Prior to baking, I separated some of the mixture and used it to stuff pork chops. They turned out delicious.

Very Thick , needed a spoon to put on the bread or chip or whatever . ( maybe add sour cream) and add some extra seasoning as it was lacking . But other than that it was so cheesy and good .

Too dry.  I like a creamier dip.
