2 pkgs. frozen cream spinach (thawed, not hot)
1 can artichokes (chopped)
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/2 cup sour cream
1 cup mozzarella cheese (shredded)
1 cup Jack cheese (shredded)
1/4 cup Parmesan (shredded) plus 1 tbsn to sprinkle on top
1/2 can water chestnuts (chopped)
1 or 2 cloves garlic (pressed or minced)
1 or 2 shallots (minced)
salt and pepper, to taste
1 large sourdough bread round
wheat thins, crackers or tortilla chips

Combine all ingredients in a large mixing bowl (this can be done the day ahead - just keep it in an air tight container in the refrigerator).

Carve your sourdough round into a bowl. Cut the inside into large bite-size pieces. Fill the bread bowl with yummy spinach mixture and sprinkle with Parmesan.

Place on a cookie sheet and arrange the bread pieces around it. Place in a 325°F oven for about 20 to 30 minutes - until bubbly and heated through.

Watch the bread pieces – you don’t want them to burn!

Serve warm with bread pieces, crackers and/or chips.

Enjoy!
