Spinach and Artichoke Dip French Bread
The classic spinach and artichoke dip is upgraded into the cheesiest, crustiest French bread ever!
So we kind of got another corgi puppy last weekend.
No, wait. It actually happened. We flew to Sacramento, drove an hour further North, picked up the pup, and drove back about 400 miles back home to Los Angeles. All in one day. It was quite the trek, but worth every minute.
Since we brought him home, there’s been a lot of sleepless nights and quite a bit of adjusting but we are so happy with Ollie.
Butters is also coping with his new life, fighting over toys and getting a little jealous, but he loves him to death! Or at least I think he does.
But enough about these guys. Let’s talk about this French bread. This French bread that’s unbelievably crusty, cheesy and just loaded with everyone’s favorite spinach and artichoke dip.
Once you make this, you won’t ever want to have the dip by itself anymore. It was truly destined to be slathered and baked on top of a French bread loaf. And there’s no judgment here if you make a meal out of this. I did it at least twice!
Spinach and Artichoke Dip French Bread
Ingredients
- 1 (14-ounce) can artichoke hearts, drained and chopped
- 2 cups baby spinach, chopped
- 1 cup sour cream
- ⅓ cup mayonnaise
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon onion powder
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese, divided
- ¼ cup freshly grated Parmesan
- 1 (1-pound) French bread loaf, cut in half crosswise
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley leaves
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, combine artichoke hearts, spinach, sour cream, mayonnaise, garlic powder and onion powder; season with salt and pepper, to taste. Stir in 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese and Parmesan.
- Place bread, cut-sides up, onto the prepared baking sheet. Spread artichoke mixture evenly over the bread slices; top with remaining 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese.
- Place into oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese has melted.
- Serve immediately, garnished with parsley, if desired.

Absolutely delicious! I liked using fresh spinach rather than frozen. I bought a very long baguette rather than French bread thinking that was what the recipe called for but it turned out fine as the bread was crisper after baking. I added about a half cup more mozzarella to the top. It was a hit at a family birthday party.
This turned out great! I made it for my book club as an alternative to a standard dip. People could grab a few slices on a plate, which made it easier to serve. Delicious!
So good!! I mixed some fresh garlic with butter and spread that on before spreading the dip on the bread. Delicious!!!
Made this yesterday, and it was good. Next time I’ll use fresh garlic instead of powder.
What’s a good substitute for sour cream? Or can I just leave it out? Never learned to like do it cream….Thanks!
Unfortunately, without further recipe testing, I cannot answer with certainty. As always, please use your best judgment regarding substitutions and modifications.
Don’t like sour cream?
Instead of sour cream, use a tangy mayo like Kraft. You could also substitute softened/whipped cream cheese plus 1/4t lemon juice.
Can this be made the night before and then reheated?
Yes, the dip can be made ahead of time.
Oh, this looks so good! Thinking it would be great alongside a bowl of soup for dinner. And I’m betting the dip baked on some pumpernickel slices would be just terrific, too. ALL your recipes make my mouth water as I read them. 🙂
Butters and Ollie look like a perfect BFF together. 😀
And Yes I am in search bread recipes everytime, every day. Glad I jumped over here.
Previously I saw recipe of Spinach and Artichoke Dip Stuffed Garlic Bread which I found from a buzzfeed video and its awesome too.
I will be giving this french bread recipe a try. Thanks for sharing.
Aw your corgis are so cute! I currently have a tan and white corgi and would really love to get a black/brown/white one as well. I’m so jealous! Corgis are so adorable I can’t.
Ollie is too cute, the perfect addition! And this bread is just what I’m craving for game day!
Congrats on the new pup! Looks adorable, and your other Corgi will have a playmate!
Looks like a fantastic recipe. Have to try soon..maybe Sunday with the Super Bowl.

Genius! I always spread artichoke dip on bread anyway so this cuts out the middle man!
Love your Recipies. So simple, tasty and easy to make. Can’t wait to try this one.
Your puppies are soooo adorably precious.
I made this tonight for dinner. It was so good!! I did add just a squeeze or two of fresh lemon juice. It was completely gone in minutes. A huge hit!! Thanks for the recipe 🙂
I live in Northern Ca – what city is Ollie from? Made the bread for dinner – fantastic!!
Ollie is from Gold Run, CA.
Looks wonderful – can’t wait to try it!
