Makes about 3 cups (8 to 10 servings) This dip can be served in a small, round pumpernickel, rye, or sourdough loaf. To prepare the bread, cut a circle from the top of the loaf.

  • 2 cups chopped spinach, cooked (or thawed if frozen) and squeezed dry and drained
  • 1 cup finely chopped artichoke hearts
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 teaspoons minced garlic
  • 1 cup grated Monterey Jack cheese
  • 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
