This Spinach and Artichoke Dip Pull Apart Bread is the perfect appetizer for all of those holiday gatherings coming up! I also eat it for lunch because it’s a great excuse to indulge! These personal size pull apart bread rolls make it a meal for one or great to share between a couple. Personally I love a great pull apart bread, but I’m not too thrilled to be picking away at a loaf of bread along with everyone else in the room. This recipe uses oversized hard rolls which make the perfect personal size and a great appetizer!
You’ll need large hard rolls (or smaller ones if you want minis, just buy double the amount of rolls if you do mini size rolls), baby spinach, garlic, butter, artichoke hearts and Sargento Mozzarella & Provolone shredded cheese. I love the Sargento Off The Block cheese because it is real, natural cheese, shredded right off the block without anything added. For this recipe you could also use the Sargento Shredded Cheese off the block mozzarella variety. Either variety is delicious in this recipe!
First cut a cross hatch pattern in four hard rolls, being careful not to cut through the bottom of the rolls.
Then stuff 1/4 cup of Sargento Mozzarella & Provolone cheese into the cracks you cut into the bread. Place rolls on a parchment paper lined baking sheet.
Then melt the butter and sauté the garlic. Add the spinach and wilt it. Then add the artichokes and mix them together well. Cook over medium heat for a few minutes.
Then divide the spinach mixture between the four rolls and top each roll with another 1/4 cup of Sargento cheese. Tent the baking pan with aluminum foil to cover rolls, but not touching them, and cook for 10-15 minutes until cheese is melted and bread is toasted. Then cook another 5 minutes uncovered until cheese is bubbly and top is browned.
Serve immediately and enjoy the melty goodness!
