    Spinach Artichoke Bread

    January 8, 2024

    Spinach artichoke isn’t *just* our favorite dip. And soup. It’s also our favorite cheesy bread. Regular garlic and cheese bread gets a very tasty vegetable upgrade with spinach and artichoke.

    How To Make Spinach Artichoke Bread

    1. Preheat the oven to 400°F.

    2. Cook shallot and spinach, let cool.

    3. Make the artichoke spread. In a large bowl stir together the shallot, spinach, artichoke hearts, mayonnaise, cream cheese, lemon juice, garlic powder, pepper, mozzarella, and parmesan.

    4. Slice the bread in half lengthwise. Arrange, cut sides up, on a rimmed baking sheet.

    5. Spread the artichoke mixture onto the cut sides of the bread.

    6. Sprinkle with mozzarella and Parmesan.

    7. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown.

    8. Cut each piece into 4 slices.

    How to Store Spinach Artichoke Bread + Tips

    • Leftovers are good in the fridge for 3-4 days, or in the freezer for up to 3 months.

    • Make in advance. You can assemble this spinach artichoke dip bread and then wrap it tightly in tin foil and store it in the freezer until you’re ready to bake.

    • Any crusty bread will work, but we love ciabatta or Como bread. Baguettes will work too, but they tend to be extra crusty once baked.
