Garlicky, Cheesy French Bread w/ Artichoke Hearts image

This is wonderful with all the different cheeses, garlic and the artichokes are a nice bonus. This has a lot of garlic, but I don't think it's overpowering with all the other flavors. Toasting the pieces of French bread in butter is genius. This would be a great side dish or work as an easy appetizer.

Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 12

(1 lb.) loaf sweet french bread
1/2 c butter
6 clove fresh garlic, peeled and crushed or finely minced
1 and 1/2 c sour cream
2 c cubed monterey jack cheese
1/4 c grated fresh Parmesan cheese
2 Tbsp dried parsley leaves
2 tsp lemon pepper
1 can(s) (14 oz.) artichoke hearts, drained
1 c shredded cheddar cheese
pitted ripe olives, sliced or chopped (optional)
green onions, thinly sliced (optional)

Steps:

  • 1. Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees. Cut French bread in half length-wise. Place halves on aluminum foil covered baking sheet. Tear out soft inner portion of bread in large chunks, leaving crusts intact.
  • 2. Melt butter in a large skillet and stir in garlic. Add bread chunks and saute until bread is golden and butter is absorbed. Remove from heat.
  • 3. Combine sour cream, Jack cheese, Parmesan cheese, parsley flakes and lemon pepper seasoning. Stir in drained artichoke hearts (cut into smaller pieces, if desired) and toasted bread mixture; mix well.
  • 4. Spoon into bread crust shells and sprinkle with cheddar cheese. Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes, or until heated through and cheese has melted. If desired, sprinkle with olives and/or green onions. Enjoy!

This was delicious! I used a French bread loaf from the store and it turned out great. The filling was cheesy and flavorful, and the artichoke hearts added a nice touch. I will definitely be making this again.

I made this for a party and it was a big success! Everyone loved it. I used a sourdough baguette and it was perfect. The filling was creamy and cheesy, and the artichoke hearts added a nice briny flavor. I will definitely be making this again.
