- 1 (10 oz) package frozen spinach, thawed and squeezed dry
- 1 (14 oz) can artichoke hearts, drained and chopped
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions Spinach and Artichoke Stuffed Bread:
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Prepare the Bread: Slice the loaf of bread in half lengthwise, creating two long halves. If you prefer, you can scoop out some of the inside of the bread to create a well for the filling.
- Brush the inside of the bread with olive oil. Set aside.
Make the Spinach and Artichoke Filling:
- In a medium bowl, combine the thawed spinach, chopped artichokes, cream cheese, sour cream, mayonnaise, shredded mozzarella cheese, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until smooth and well-combined. 🧀🍃
Stuff the Bread: - Spoon the spinach and artichoke mixture evenly onto both halves of the bread. Spread it out with a spatula or spoon to cover the entire surface.
Top with Cheese:
- Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella and grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the stuffed bread.
Bake: - Place the stuffed bread halves on a baking sheet and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the bread is golden and crispy around the edges.
Serve: Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before slicing. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley for a pop of colour.
