A delicious creamy Spinach Dip stuffed inside of crispy french bread make this Spinach Dip Stuffed French Bread a perfect appetizer for any party!
So like I’ve told you all before, we love hosting game nights. Well obviously since I love to cook, I usually whip up a bunch of appetizers to keep everyone satisfied all night. Well since the weather has finally turned, game night has turned into bon fires. This nice weather makes me think of summer and when I think of summer I think of my favorite dip, Spinach Dip. Well how about we take it a step further? I give you Spinach Dip Stuffed French Bread.
When I first saw this recipe over at Carlsbad Cravings I fell in love. It looked so creamy and delicious that I knew that I had to make it. We love stuffed french bread to begin with. Stuff it with one of my all time favorite dips and this gal is sold!! You’d be surprised at how quickly and easily this bad boy comes together! We love fast recipes don’t we!
This is chalked full of creamy spinach, onions, peppers and a multitude of cheeses. Cheese get’s me every time. We are a big family full of cheese lovers. You tell my husband it has cheese in it and he’s sold, say no more. This went over so well at our bon fire that my friends could barely wait for me to post the recipe! Well here it is, Spinach Dip Stuffed French Bread!

Oh my goodness! How good does that look?! And more portable to boot! This would be a perfect starter for our shrimp boil this year!
I love spinach dip! I’ve had it with sourdough bread but have never thought to actually stuff it into bread. What a great idea! This looks so yummy I can’t wait to try it! Thanks for sharing!

Ooooooh mannnnn… that looks like something I’d have a really hard time waiting for to cool enough to eat! YUM! You can’t go wrong with cheese and bread!
I agree, cheese and bread are my all time weakness besides chocolate!
