Spinach Artichoke Dip Stuffed Garlic Bread Recipe 395

Steps:

• Cut the baguette into 4 pieces. Use a long knife to cut out the insides, leaving some bread along the edges. Pull out the loose bread to leave hollow bread quarters. Set aside. Heat the oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add in the artichoke pieces and cook for one minute. Reduce heat to medium, add in the spinach, and cook until wilted, turning often. Mix in the cream cheese and mozzarella, and let it melt entirely. Fold in the green onions and season with salt and pepper to taste. Remove from heat. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Stuff the baguette quarters with the spinach and artichoke dip, using a spoon to help pack the dip. Once the bread is stuffed, transfer it to a cutting board. Line up the quarters so that they fit together as they did before the baguette was cut. Slice the baguette into slices that are approximately 1" thick. Tear a piece of heavy duty foil that is about 5 to 6 inches longer than the baguette. Slide the baguette slices off of the cutting board and onto the foil, keeping them together. In a small bowl, combine the butter and minced garlic. Loosely cover the top and microwave for a minute, or until the butter is fully melted. Brush the garlic butter over the baguette, allowing some to drip down between the slices. Make sure to get all of the minced garlic on top of the bread. Wrap the foil around the bread and bake for 15 minutes. Unwrap the bread and bake for 5 minutes, or until the top browns slightly. Remove from the oven, top with parmesan cheese and torn basil or parsley leaves, and serve warm.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a 1 quart baking dish.
• In a medium bowl, mix together artichoke hearts, spinach, mayonnaise, Parmesan cheese and 2 cups Monterey Jack cheese. Transfer mixture to the prepared baking dish, and sprinkle with remaining 1/2 cup of Monterey Jack cheese.
• Bake in the center of the preheated oven until the cheese is melted, about 15 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Place bacon in a large, deep skillet. Cook over medium high heat until evenly brown. Drain and crumble into a medium bowl.
• Mix spinach, artichoke hearts, garlic-herb flavored cheese spread, Parmesan cheese, sour cream and mayonnaise into the bowl with bacon.
• Scoop mixture into a 7x11 inch baking dish. Bake in the preheated oven 20 minutes, or until bubbly and lightly browned.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• In a medium bowl, mix together the cream cheese, sour cream, 1 cup mozzarella, the Parmesan, garlic, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper. Fold in the spinach and artichoke hearts.
• Set the French bread on the prepared baking sheet, cut side up. Spread the spinach artichoke mixture over both halves of the bread. Top with the remaining 2 cups of mozzarella.
• Bake the garlic bread for 8-10 minutes, until the cheese is melted. Turn the broiler to high and broil for 1-2 minutes, until golden and bubbling.
• Let the garlic bread cool for about 5 minutes, then slice and serve.
• Enjoy!
