Cheesy Baked Artichoke Bread

Created by Kchurchill5 on March 29, 2013

1 Italian bread loaf (cut in half lengthwise, scoop out just a little from the center to make room for the filling)
1 can (15 ounce) artichoke hearts (drained and chopped)
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 scallions, diced (white and green parts)
4 ounces cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
1/4 cup parmesan cheese, grated
1/2 cup sour cream

Step 1: Filling ... Mix everything together in a small bowl, making sure everything is combined. Spread or spoon on the bread halves which are lightly hollowed out. Make sure to spread the filling over the bread; then, add the cheese topping.
Step 2: Bake ... Lay on a sheet pan, lined with foil (for easy clean up), and cover with foil. Bake 20 minutes in a 350 degree oven, middle shelf. Then, remove the foil, and continue to bake another 5-10 minutes until the cheese is melted and lightly golden brown.
Step 3: Serve ... Let it rest a few minutes before slicing. Then slice, serve, and ENJOY! It really is a great side to so many dishes.
Step 4: Note: That extra bread you scooped out - save and freeze. Great to add as a thickener to soups, perfect for stuffing or bread crumbs, etc.
