Print Recipe

A rich and creamy spinach artichoke dip served in a rustic sourdough bread bowl, perfect for game nights and casual gatherings. This easy homemade recipe combines simple ingredients for a crowd-pleasing, shareable appetizer.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 10 oz frozen chopped spinach, thawed and drained
  • 14 oz canned artichoke hearts, drained and chopped
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • ½ cup sour cream
  • ½ cup mayonnaise
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • ½ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 1 round sourdough loaf or boule (about 8 inches diameter)

Instructions

  1. Thaw the frozen spinach completely and press out as much water as possible. Chop the drained artichoke hearts into small pieces.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine softened cream cheese, sour cream, and mayonnaise. Blend until smooth and creamy.
  3. Stir in shredded mozzarella, grated Parmesan, minced garlic, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Add red pepper flakes if desired. Taste and adjust seasoning.
  4. Gently fold in the prepared spinach and chopped artichokes, ensuring even distribution without mashing.
  5. Using a serrated knife, cut a circular lid from the top of the sourdough loaf. Hollow out the inside, leaving about a 1-inch thick wall of bread.
  6. Spoon the dip into the hollowed bread bowl and smooth the top. Place the lid back on and set the bread bowl on a baking sheet.
  7. Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 20 minutes until the dip is hot, bubbly, and the bread crust is golden and crisp.
  8. Remove from oven and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

Squeeze out as much liquid as possible from spinach and artichokes to prevent soggy dip or bread. For a golden top, broil the bread bowl for the last 2 minutes watching closely. If dip is too runny before baking, add more shredded mozzarella or Parmesan. Avoid over-hollowing the bread bowl to prevent leaks. Serve warm and consider extra bread cubes or crackers for dipping.
