Cheesy Artichoke Bread

Cheesy Artichoke Bread – quick artichoke dip stuffed into french bread. Great for parties or a side dish! Butter, garlic, artichoke hearts, sour cream, mozzarella, parmesan, and cheddar cheese. Can assemble ahead of time and refrigerate until ready to bake and serve. You might want to double the recipe. This never lasts long!

This Cheesy Artichoke Bread is a new favorite! OMG! Cheesy artichoke dip baked on top of a loaf of french bread. It is great as an appetizer or side dish. It is loaded with tons of cheese and garlic – two of my favorite things! We ate this last weekend as a pre-game snack before a football game and it was a huge success.

This bread is super easy to make. Start with making the quick artichoke dip filling. Melt some butter in a skillet. Add garlic and cook until fragrant. Toss in some chopped artichoke hearts, mozzarella, parmesan cheese, and sour cream. Stir and set aside to cool.

Cut a loaf of french bread in half and scoop out some of the bread. Spread the artichoke filling on top of the bread and top with MORE CHEESE! Pop it in the oven and that is it!

You can assemble the bread ahead of time and refrigerate it until you are ready to bake and serve. As I said, this was a HUGE hit at our football party. Everyone loved it. I can see why – you can never go wrong with artichokes, garlic, and CHEESE!

We all know you can’t have only one appetizer at a party. Here are a few of our favorite recipes from the blog that go great with this yummy bread:
