Dip Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 cups fresh spinach, chopped
- 1 (14 oz) can artichoke hearts, drained and chopped
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Bread Ring Ingredients
- 1 can refrigerated biscuit dough (8-count)
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 1/2 teaspoon dried parsley (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it’s ready for baking the bread ring and dip.
- Cook Spinach and Artichokes: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add chopped spinach and cook until wilted, about 2–3 minutes. Stir in chopped artichoke hearts and cook for another minute. Remove from heat.
- Prepare Dip Mixture: In a large bowl, combine softened cream cheese, sour cream, mayonnaise, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until smooth and creamy.
- Combine Ingredients: Fold the cooked spinach and artichoke mixture into the creamy base. Then stir in shredded mozzarella and grated Parmesan cheeses until evenly incorporated.
- Prepare Biscuit Dough: Separate biscuit dough into individual biscuits and cut each biscuit in half to create 16 pieces. Roll each piece into a small ball.
- Assemble Bread Ring: Grease a 10-inch oven-safe skillet or baking dish. Arrange the biscuit dough balls around the edge forming a ring, leaving the center open for the dip.
- Add Dip to Center: Spoon the prepared spinach artichoke dip into the center of the biscuit ring within the skillet.
- Brush and Garnish: Brush the biscuit dough balls generously with melted butter. Sprinkle dried parsley over the bread ring if desired for added flavor and color.
- Bake: Place the skillet in the preheated oven and bake for 25–30 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown, cooked through, and the dip is hot and bubbly.
- Serve: Allow the bread ring to cool slightly before serving to let the dip set and to avoid burns. Serve warm as a delicious appetizer.
Notes
- For an easy shortcut, substitute fresh spinach with frozen chopped spinach that has been thawed and squeezed dry.
- You can prepare the dip a day in advance and assemble the bread ring just before baking for convenience.
- Serve the bread ring with extra vegetables, chips, or crackers to complement the dip.
