Cheesy Spinach and Artichoke Pull-Apart Sourdough Bread

Ingredients:

• 1 round sourdough loaf

• 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese

• 1 cup shredded Parmesan cheese

• 1 cup canned artichoke hearts, drained and chopped

• 1 cup frozen spinach, thawed and squeezed dry

• 4 oz cream cheese, softened

• 1/2 cup sour cream

• 2 cloves garlic, minced

• 2 tbsp butter, melted

• 1 tsp Italian seasoning

• Salt and black pepper, to taste

• Optional garnish: chopped parsley, crushed red pepper

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with foil.

2. Cut the sourdough loaf in a crosshatch pattern, slicing almost to the bottom but not all the way through, creating pull-apart cubes.

3. In a bowl, mix mozzarella, Parmesan, artichokes, spinach, cream cheese, sour cream, garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper until creamy and well combined.

4. Gently pull apart the bread sections and stuff the cheesy spinach artichoke mixture into all the cuts.

5. Brush the top of the bread with melted butter, making sure it drips into the crevices.

6. Wrap the loaf loosely with foil and bake 20 minutes.

7. Uncover and bake another 10 to 15 minutes until the top is golden and the cheese is bubbling.

8. Sprinkle with parsley or red pepper if you are feeling fancy, then serve hot and watch it magically vanish.
