A creamy, cheesy spinach and artichoke dip baked inside a crusty sourdough bread bowl, perfect for parties and casual snacking. This easy recipe combines simple ingredients for a crowd-pleasing appetizer.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 oz (225g) cream cheese, softened
  • ½ cup (120ml) sour cream
  • ¼ cup (60ml) mayonnaise
  • 1 cup (100g) shredded mozzarella cheese
  • ½ cup (50g) grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika (optional)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 cup (150g) frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed dry
  • 1 cup (140g) canned artichoke hearts, drained and chopped
  • 1 large round sourdough bread loaf (about 10 inches/25cm diameter)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Thaw frozen spinach completely and squeeze out excess moisture.
  3. In a mixing bowl, beat softened cream cheese with sour cream and mayonnaise until smooth, about 2-3 minutes.
  4. Stir in shredded mozzarella, grated Parmesan, minced garlic, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.
  5. Gently fold in drained spinach and chopped artichoke hearts, keeping the dip chunky.
  6. Cut a 3-inch circle from the top of the sourdough loaf and remove the lid. Scoop out the soft bread inside, leaving a 1-inch thick shell.
  7. Spoon the dip evenly into the hollowed bread bowl and place the lid on the baking sheet beside it.
  8. Bake for 25-30 minutes until the dip is bubbly and golden on top. If browning too quickly, cover loosely with foil halfway through baking.
  9. Remove from oven and let rest for 5 minutes. Serve warm with the scooped bread chunks and extra veggies or crackers.

Notes

Soften cream cheese well before mixing for a smooth dip. Squeeze spinach dry to avoid watery dip. Cover with foil if dip browns too fast. Use sturdy sourdough bread for best results. Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated gently.
