Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 1 large baguette preferably day-old for easier slicing and stuffing
  • 1 cup cream cheese softened
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 14 oz can artichoke hearts, drained and chopped
  • 1 10 oz package frozen spinach, thawed and thoroughly squeezed dry
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil for brushing the bread
  • Optional: a pinch of red pepper flakes for a spicy kick

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper or lightly greasing it to prevent sticking.
  2. Make the filling: In a large bowl, mix together the softened cream cheese, sour cream, chopped artichoke hearts, thoroughly squeezed spinach, shredded mozzarella, grated Parmesan, minced garlic, and a pinch of salt and pepper. For added heat, stir in a dash of red pepper flakes. Blend until the mixture is smooth and evenly combined.
  3. Prepare the baguette: Using a sharp knife, cut a deep V-shaped channel along the top of the baguette, carefully removing the top section to form a hollow. Be sure not to cut through the bottom or sides, as the bread should form a sturdy "boat" for the filling.
  4. Fill the bread: Spoon the prepared spinach and artichoke mixture into the hollowed-out center of the baguette, pressing gently to ensure the filling is packed in tightly. If you have extra filling, you can bake it separately in a small oven-safe dish or reserve it for later use.
  5. Bake the stuffed bread: Brush the outer surface of the baguette with olive oil to promote a golden, crisp crust. Place the bread on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 20–25 minutes, or until the filling is hot and bubbly and the bread is nicely toasted.
  6. To serve: Let the stuffed baguette rest for a few minutes after baking, then slice it into portions. Serve warm as an irresistible appetizer, side dish, or even a satisfying main course.
