Ingredients
  

  • 1 10oz package of frozen chopped spinach thawed and drained
  • 1 14oz jar of marinated artichoke hearts chopped
  • 8 oz cream cheese softened
  • ¼ cup sour cream
  • cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tsp dijon mustard
  • ½ tbsp salt
  • tbsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp ground black pepper
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese divided
  • ¼ cup grated parmesan
  • 1 large loaf of artisan bread optional

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350°
  • In a large mixing bowl, using a hand mixer or a wooden spoon, combine spinach, artichokes, cream cheese, mayo, sour cream, and mustard.
  • Season with salt, onion powder, black pepper, and garlic powder. Fold in ½ cup of mozzarella cheese.

Bread Bowl

  • If using a bread loaf, use a bread knife to cut off the top of the loaf, about ½ an inch. Use a knife or spoon to hallow out the bread, leaving just enough so it maintains its shape. Cut the removed bread into cubes.
  • Place the bread bowl and cubes on a baking sheet and drizzle the inside with olive oil and bake for 5-7 minutes. Remove from oven and set cubes aside.
  • Scoop the spinach dip into the center of the bowl, topping with remaining mozzarella cheese and parmesan cheese.
  • Place back in the oven for 25-30 minutes or until the dip is hot in the middle and the cheese is browned on top.

Baking Dish

  • If using a baking dish, simply place the dip in a greased 9in round casserole/baking dish and top with cheeses. Bake 25-30 minutes or until the dip is hot in the middle and the cheese is browned on top.

Serving

  • Serve the dip while still hot with the cubed bread (if applicable), carrot sticks, broccoli florets, cucumber slices, crackers, pita chips, or pretzel sticks.
