SPINACH ARTICHOKE DIP IN A BREAD BOWL
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- 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).
- 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.

WARM SPINACH DIP IN A BREAD BOWL
This recipe is Yum-Yum! I don't like spinach, but love this recipe. I found it in our local paper. I made it for New Year's Eve and it was ate before anything else! I used Green Giant creamed spinach, as I couldn't find the Stouffer's and I left out the green onions just as a personal preference. You can use any type of round bread. I used Hawaiian bread, again just a personal selection. You can use round rye or sourdough, etc. Try it and you will see just how delicious this is! (Recipe by Nestle USA.)

SPINACH & ARTICHOKE DIP STUFFED GARLIC BREAD RECIPE - (3.9/5)
Provided by BobN
Number Of Ingredients 12
Steps:
- Cut the baguette into 4 pieces. Use a long knife to cut out the insides, leaving some bread along the edges. Pull out the loose bread to leave hollow bread quarters. Set aside. Heat the oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add in the artichoke pieces and cook for one minute. Reduce heat to medium, add in the spinach, and cook until wilted, turning often. Mix in the cream cheese and mozzarella, and let it melt entirely. Fold in the green onions and season with salt and pepper to taste. Remove from heat. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Stuff the baguette quarters with the spinach and artichoke dip, using a spoon to help pack the dip. Once the bread is stuffed, transfer it to a cutting board. Line up the quarters so that they fit together as they did before the baguette was cut. Slice the baguette into slices that are approximately 1" thick. Tear a piece of heavy duty foil that is about 5 to 6 inches longer than the baguette. Slide the baguette slices off of the cutting board and onto the foil, keeping them together. In a small bowl, combine the butter and minced garlic. Loosely cover the top and microwave for a minute, or until the butter is fully melted. Brush the garlic butter over the baguette, allowing some to drip down between the slices. Make sure to get all of the minced garlic on top of the bread. Wrap the foil around the bread and bake for 15 minutes. Unwrap the bread and bake for 5 minutes, or until the top browns slightly. Remove from the oven, top with parmesan cheese and torn basil or parsley leaves, and serve warm.

Steps:
- 1. Combine all ingredients except bread bowl. Refrigerate for 6 hours or overnight. (I have chilled for 30 min and it was still delicious!)
- 2. Remove top off bread bowl and hallow out enough that you can pour the dip inside. Use the bread you removed for dipping. Enjoy!!
Tips:
- Use fresh spinach: Fresh spinach will give your dip a vibrant green color and a more pronounced flavor compared to frozen spinach.
- Squeeze out excess moisture from the spinach: Before adding the spinach to the dip, make sure to squeeze out as much excess moisture as possible. This will prevent the dip from becoming watery.
- Use a variety of cheeses: Feel free to experiment with different types of cheeses to create a unique flavor profile for your dip. Some good options include cream cheese, cheddar cheese, mozzarella cheese, and Parmesan cheese.
- Add some spice: If you like a little bit of heat, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or chili powder to the dip. You can also add some chopped jalapeños or red pepper flakes.
- Serve with your favorite dippers: Spinach dip is traditionally served with tortilla chips, but you can also serve it with crackers, bread, or vegetables.
Conclusion:
Spinach dip is a delicious and versatile appetizer that is perfect for any occasion. It's easy to make, can be customized to your liking, and is always a crowd-pleaser. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy snack or appetizer, give spinach dip a try!
