Categories     appetizer

Time 35m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

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

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.

  • 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.
  • 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.
