A warm, creamy, and cheesy spinach artichoke dip baked inside a crusty sourdough bread bowl, perfect for parties and cozy nights in.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 10 ounces frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed dry
  • 1 can (14 ounces) marinated artichoke hearts, drained and chopped
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 2 cloves garlic minced or 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp fresh lemon juice
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 round sourdough loaf (8–10 inches diameter)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. If using frozen spinach, thaw completely and squeeze out excess water. If fresh, sauté until wilted and chop finely.
  3. Drain and roughly chop the artichoke hearts.
  4. In a large mixing bowl, combine cream cheese, sour cream, and mayonnaise. Beat until smooth.
  5. Add minced garlic, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Stir well.
  6. Fold in the spinach and artichokes until fully incorporated.
  7. Add shredded mozzarella and grated Parmesan cheese. Stir gently.
  8. Cut a circle about 2-3 inches from the top of the sourdough loaf and hollow out the inside, leaving about 1-inch thick walls.
  9. Fill the bread bowl with the dip mixture, packing it in but not overfilling.
  10. Place the filled bread bowl on a baking sheet and bake uncovered for 25-30 minutes until golden and bubbling.
  11. Remove from oven and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
  12. Serve immediately with the bread chunks and optional veggies or crackers.

Notes

Squeeze excess moisture from spinach and artichokes to avoid a watery dip. Use freshly grated cheese for best melt and flavor. Do not overfill the bread bowl to prevent spilling. Tent bread with foil if crust browns too fast. Leftovers should be stored separately from bread to avoid sogginess. Reheat gently.
