Time 1h

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 can (11 oz) refrigerated Pillsbury™ Original French Bread
1 tablespoon butter, melted
1 box (9 oz) frozen chopped spinach
1 package (3 oz) cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons shredded fresh Parmesan cheese
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1/2 cup chopped red bell pepper
1 clove garlic, finely chopped

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350°F. Line cookie sheet with cooking parchment paper. Place French bread dough, seam side down, on cookie sheet. Brush dough with melted butter.
  • Bake 17 to 19 minutes or until light golden brown. Carefully hollow out center of loaf by using bread knife to cut out V-shape lengthwise down center of loaf to within 1/2 inch of bottom. (Discard or bake* bread cutout scraps.)
  • Meanwhile, cook spinach as directed on box. Drain well; squeeze with paper towel to get out as much liquid as possible. In medium bowl, stir together cooked and drained spinach, cream cheese, 1/2 cup of the Parmesan cheese, the mayonnaise, bell pepper and garlic until well blended. Spoon spinach mixture into hollowed-out French bread loaf.
  • Bake 15 minutes; sprinkle with remaining 2 tablespoons shredded Parmesan cheese. Bake 3 to 5 minutes longer or until spinach filling is hot and bread is deep golden brown. Cool 5 minutes. Cut into slices to serve.

I made this recipe for my family and they loved it! The dip was creamy and flavorful, and the bread was perfectly crispy. I will definitely be making this again.

This recipe was a disaster! The dip was watery and the bread was soggy. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what went wrong.

This recipe is a keeper! I've made it several times now and it always turns out great. I love that I can use fresh or frozen spinach. I also like to add a little bit of cayenne pepper to the dip for a little kick. Yum!

Meh. I thought this recipe was just okay. The dip was a little bland and the bread was too dry.

5 stars! This is the best spinach dip I've ever had. The combination of the creamy dip and the crispy bread is perfect. I will definitely be making this again and again.

This is a great recipe! We loved the spinach dip in French bread. I added some extra garlic and Parmesan cheese to the dip, and it was perfect. The bread was crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. We will definitely be making this again!
