Cheesy Spinach and Artichoke Stuffed Bread Bites

Ingredients

- 1 loaf French baguette
- 1 cup cooked spinach, drained and finely chopped
- 1 cup artichoke hearts, drained and finely chopped
- 1 cup cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil

Instructions

1. Preheat Oven:
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

2. Prepare Filling:
In a large mixing bowl, combine spinach, artichoke hearts, cream cheese, sour cream, mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly until the ingredients are well incorporated.

3. Slice Bread:
Cut the French baguette into 1-inch slices, ensuring each piece has a flat bottom to stand upright.

4. Create Hollow Centers:
Using a small spoon or a melon baller, carefully scoop out a small pocket from the center of each bread slice, being careful not to pierce the bottom.

5. Fill Bread Slices:
Spoon the spinach and artichoke mixture into each hollowed bread slice, packing it generously.

6. Bake:
Place the filled bread slices on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Lightly drizzle the tops with olive oil.

7. Oven Cook:
Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, or until the tops are bubbly and golden brown.

8. Cool and Serve:
Allow the bread bites to cool for 5 minutes on the sheet before serving. Enjoy warm as a delightful snack.
