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.

Steps:
- Mix ingredients well. Chill dip at least two hours.
- Hollow out a round sourdough bread loaf or pumpernickel loaf and fill with the dip. Cut the middle section of the bread into squares and place around the dip instead of crackers.
Tips:
- Choose fresh spinach: Fresh spinach leaves provide the best flavor and texture for the dip. Look for spinach with deep green leaves and no signs of wilting.
- Use a variety of cheeses: A combination of cheeses, such as cream cheese, cheddar cheese, and Parmesan cheese, creates a rich and flavorful dip. You can also add crumbled bacon, chopped walnuts, or diced red peppers for extra flavor and texture.
- Don't overcook the spinach: Overcooked spinach will become mushy and lose its vibrant color. Cook the spinach just until it is wilted, about 1-2 minutes.
- Drain the spinach thoroughly: After cooking the spinach, drain it thoroughly to remove any excess water. This will help to prevent the dip from becoming watery.
- Chill the dip before serving: Chilling the dip allows the flavors to meld and develop. Serve the dip cold or at room temperature.
