A creamy spinach artichoke dip baked inside a crusty bread bowl, perfect for a cozy snack or entertaining guests. This easy recipe uses simple ingredients and delivers a rich, cheesy, and flavorful dip with a satisfying crunch.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 can (14 oz) artichoke hearts, drained and chopped
  • 1 cup frozen chopped spinach, thawed and well-drained
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1/4 tsp crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 1 large round sourdough or country-style bread loaf (about 10 inches diameter)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Using a sharp serrated knife, cut a circle around the top of the bread loaf about 2 inches from the edge. Remove the top and hollow out the inside, leaving about a 1-inch thick shell. Reserve bread chunks for dipping.
  2. Thaw frozen spinach and squeeze out excess water using a kitchen towel. Drain and roughly chop artichoke hearts.
  3. In a medium bowl, beat softened cream cheese with a hand mixer until smooth and fluffy (2-3 minutes). Add sour cream, Parmesan, mozzarella, garlic, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
  4. Gently fold in drained spinach and chopped artichokes. Add crushed red pepper flakes if desired.
  5. Spoon the dip mixture into the hollowed bread bowl, pressing down gently to fill evenly. Place bread bowl on a baking sheet.
  6. Bake for 25-30 minutes until the top is golden and bubbly. Optionally, add extra shredded mozzarella on top during the last 5 minutes for a cheesy crust.
  7. Let the bread bowl cool for 5 minutes before serving. Serve with reserved bread chunks or fresh veggies for dipping.

Notes

Drain spinach and artichokes thoroughly to avoid watery dip. Use a serrated knife to hollow the bread without tearing. Watch the oven near the end to prevent burning; tent with foil if needed. The dip can be made ahead and refrigerated, then baked fresh in the bread bowl before serving.
