A cozy and indulgent snack featuring a creamy spinach and artichoke filling baked inside a sturdy sourdough bread bowl, perfect for quick weeknight meals or entertaining guests.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 large round sourdough loaf (about 12–14 oz / 340–400 g)
  • 8 oz (225 g) cream cheese, softened
  • ½ cup (120 ml) sour cream
  • ½ cup (50 g) grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 cup (100 g) shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 cup (150 g) fresh baby spinach, chopped
  • 1 cup (120 g) artichoke hearts, drained and chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • ¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
  • Chopped fresh parsley or chives (optional garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper if desired.
  2. Using a serrated knife, slice off the top third of the sourdough loaf to create a lid. Scoop out the soft interior crumb, leaving about a 1-inch thick shell. Set aside the bread bowl and lid.
  3. In a medium mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese and sour cream. Stir until smooth and creamy.
  4. Add grated Parmesan and shredded mozzarella to the creamy base and mix gently.
  5. Fold in chopped fresh spinach, chopped artichoke hearts, and minced garlic until evenly distributed.
  6. Season with salt, black pepper, and optional crushed red pepper flakes.
  7. Spoon the creamy mixture into the hollowed-out bread bowl, mounding slightly to the top.
  8. Place the stuffed bread bowl and the lid on the prepared baking sheet.
  9. Bake for 20-25 minutes until the filling is bubbly and the top is golden brown. If edges brown too quickly, tent with foil halfway through baking.
  10. Serve warm, garnished with chopped parsley or chives if desired. Tear off pieces of the bread bowl crust to dip into the filling.

Notes

Do not overfill the bread bowl to prevent spilling. Use fresh spinach for best texture and flavor. Room temperature cream cheese mixes more smoothly. Serve immediately for best creaminess and to avoid soggy bread. Reheat gently in oven; avoid microwave.
