Artichoke, Feta and Jalapeño Stuffed French Bread

Artichoke, Feta and Jalapeño Stuffed French Bread

Just in time for the Super Bowl!  Appetizers that travel!  Everything you love about Hot Artichoke and Jalapeño Dip all stuffed into a loaf of french bread. Easy to make, and easy to tote!  This is a take off of my Super Easy Baked Egg Boat recipe.

I love the idea of stuffing a store bought loaf of french bread and turning it into something special!  The possibilities are endless.   I’ve been subbing feta for parm in almost all my recipes lately so I thought I’d kick up your basic artichoke dip and make it go boom!  Who wants plain old parm cheese when you can go boom with the big flavor of feta!  Who doesn’t wanna go boom?  I love going boom…we are big boomers are here.

Artichoke, Feta and Jalapeño Stuffed French Bread Cut into Slices with Gooey Center

First challenge was to keep all the goo in tact when slicing.  Typical artichoke dip is meant to be fairly gooey. But you don’t want it sliding out of the bread.    The trick to getting this to hold together when sliced is a simple egg.  Just adding one binds that cream cheese and mayo together like a warm hug.

Hollowing out the bread is super easy.  Just cut along the edges and pull out the middle leaving about one inch of bread all the way around the loaf and on the bottom.

Now just spoon in the filling, top with some additional feta and in the oven it goes!

Pre-Baked Artichoke, Feta and Jalapeño Stuffed French Bread

Bake for about 30 minutes and let rest for 10 minutes before slicing.  This recipe makes enough for one large french bread loaf or two demi baguettes. Using a serrated knife, slice it up and serve!  This is good warm or even at room temp.  Or you can stuff it at home, wrap it up and bake it at your BFF ‘s house!
