Ingredients

  • 1 round sourdough bread loaf
  • 1 cup fresh spinach (or 1/2 cup frozen spinach, thawed and drained)
  • 1 cup canned or jarred artichoke hearts, chopped
  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup sour cream or Greek yogurt
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil or melted butter (for brushing)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Using a serrated knife, cut the sourdough loaf into a grid pattern—deep slices in both directions—without cutting through the bottom.
  3. In a mixing bowl, combine cream cheese, sour cream or Greek yogurt, garlic, spinach, artichokes, mozzarella, Parmesan, salt, and pepper until smooth and well blended.
  4. Stuff the mixture generously between all the bread cuts, making sure every pocket is filled.
  5. Brush the top of the bread with olive oil or melted butter for extra crispiness.
  6. Wrap the loaf loosely in foil and bake for 20 minutes.
  7. Uncover and bake for another 10–15 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and the bread is golden.
  8. Serve hot and enjoy by pulling apart cheesy pieces.

Notes

  • Add chopped jalapeños for a spicy kick.
  • Swap in different cheeses like fontina or cheddar for variety.
  • Cooked bacon bits or sun-dried tomatoes add extra flavor depth.
  • Use Greek yogurt and low-fat cream cheese for a lighter version.
  • To reheat, use the oven to maintain crispiness—avoid the microwave.
