Killer Artichoke Bread
Killer Artichoke Bread is artichoke dip in bread form. I think this appetizer bread solidifies that I am in fact a carbaholic.
KILLER ARTICHOKE BREAD
I love bread and it loves me. But our love affair has to end. It’s just not a healthy relationship for either of us. It’s always calling to me. Come eat me. Come lather some butter on me. Toast me and dip me in warm soup. It’s a bit one sided and frankly I’m feeling smothered.
I’ve told myself we’re going to break up soon. But before we do, we had one last hurrah. A cheesy, artichoke laden farewell.
The bread is perfectly done when the cheese on top just starts to get those beautiful brown toasted freckles.
I halved the recipe thinking that there was no way my family could eat even half. So wrong. This is definitely an easy, inexpensive appetizer for a crowd. It’s like Spinach Artichoke Dip (minus the spinach) on a loaf of bread.

Killer Artichoke Bread
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup butter
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 (14-ounce can) marinated artichoke hearts, drained well and chopped
- 1 cup (4 ounces) shredded Mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup (2 ounces) shredded Cheddar cheese
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1 French bread loaf, about 12 ounces
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to BROIL.
- Melt the butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add the artichoke hearts, Mozzarella cheese, Cheddar cheese, Parmesan cheese and sour cream to the skillet and stir to blend. When completely combined remove from the heat.
- Slice the bread lengthwise. Spoon the artichoke mixture evenly onto the bread. Broil for about 4-7 minutes or until cheese has melted an bread is hot. Do not walk away. Watch the bread closely or it could burn.
I highly recommend baking it for 5 to 8 minutes before broiling it, as it makes the whole load crunchy. Unless you like it mushy on the bottom.
Thanks for the tips!

Oh man, I LOVE BREAD. I love making bread and I love eating bread. ummmm bread good. I judge a meal by the bread that is served. Have I mentioned that I love bread!!!!!!! I have made a variation of this and it is oh so yummy. Thank you for posting this an reminding me that I haven’t had it in a while. I LOVE BREAD! Cheersssss,

Only my oven gets so hot, I have it broil for 2.5 minutes instead.
The second time I chopped up some onion and added to the garlic and butter first.
To me, it tasted even better;-)

I have made this before and it is so amazing!!! I was wondeing if you have tried to make the mixture ahead of time, reheated it and then broiled it on the bread. I would love to bring this as an app for Thanksgiving but I dont think there will be much for stove space for me to make it day of.
This sounds good and looks amazing.
