homemade spinach artichoke bread cut into slices on a serving plate
  • Serves: 8
  • Prep Time:  15 min
  • Cook Time:  20 min

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 small shallot, minced
  • 3 cups baby spinach, packed
  • 1 (14-ounce) can quartered artichoke hearts, drained, roughly chopped
  • ½ cup mayonnaise
  • 4 ounces cream cheese
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice (from 1 lemon)
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • ¼ teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
  • 2 cups grated mozzarella
  • ½ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 loaf crusty bread, such as ciabatta or como
  • 2 tablespoons minced chives

Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F with a rack in the center position.

  2. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium. Add the shallot and spinach and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Transfer the mixture to a large bowl and let it cool slightly. Add the artichoke hearts, mayonnaise, cream cheese, lemon juice, garlic powder, pepper, 1¼ cups of the mozzarella, and ⅓ cup of the parmesan, stir to combine.

  3. Slice the bread in half lengthwise and arrange, cut sides up, on a rimmed baking sheet. Evenly spread the cut sides with the artichoke mixture, then sprinkle with the remaining ¾ cup mozzarella and remaining Parmesan cheese. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown.

  4. Cut each piece into 4 slices. Sprinkle with chives and serve warm.
