1 (14 oz) can artichoke hearts, drained and coarsely chopped
1 loaf sourdough boule or shepherd’s bread
carrot and celery sticks, sugar snap peas, and sliced red, yellow, or orange bell pepper, for serving
Directions
Preheat oven to 375°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Thaw spinach in microwave or under hot water. Grasp a small handful of the spinach and squeeze all the water out. Repeat with remaining handfuls of spinach.
In a saucepan, combine 4 ounces of Garlic Parmesan Flavored Butter and all the cream cheese and sour cream and melt over medium heat.
Add the parmesan and ½ cup mozzarella and heat until bubbling. Stir in the red pepper flakes, artichoke hearts, and spinach.
Cut off the top of the bread (as if you were carving a pumpkin). Use a knife to cut the bread out of the center of the loaf, leaving about ½ inch all around the sides and bottom.
Cut the bread that was removed from the center of the loaf into cubes and place on the prepared baking sheet.
Melt remaining 3 ounces of Garlic Parmesan Flavored Butter and drizzle the bread cubes, then toss to coat.
Add hollowed-out loaf to baking sheet and fill with dip. Top the dip with remaining ½ cup of mozzarella.
Bake for 15-20 minutes until dip is bubbly and cheese is melted and lightly browned.
Serve with the toasted garlic butter bread cubes and fresh veggies.
The most important ingredients are right in the name: spinach, artichokes, and Parmesan! However, those three ingredients alone aren’t enough to make this beloved and scrumptious dip. Our recipe also calls for cream cheese, sour cream, mozzarella, red pepper flakes, and Epicurean Butter Garlic Parmesan Flavored Butter to make it indulgently creamy and rich – plus, a gorgeous sourdough or shepherd’s bread bowl to serve it in.
There are loads of delicious options to pair with your spinach artichoke parmesan dip. We like to serve it in a bread bowl, toasting the scooped out bits of bread from the center of the loaf to use as dippers. Pita bread and chips, pretzels, and fresh veggies like carrots and celery are all excellent choices to include as dipping options.
This is the perfect dish to bring to a potluck or serve as a side or appetizer before the main course. It’s a quick and easy choice you can prep ahead of time for gatherings, allowing you to spend more time with guests and less time cooking. Just be sure you make plenty for everyone – your guests won’t be able to get enough of this dip!
