Preparation

Step 1

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 degree oven for about 20-30 minutes - until bubbly and heated through.

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

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

Enjoy!
