Ingredients

1 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
1 small shallot
3 cups baby spinach
1 can (14 oz) quartered artichoke hearts
1/2 cup mayonnaise
4 oz cream cheese
1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
1 tsp garlic powder
1/4 tsp freshly cracked black pepper
2 cups grated mozzarella
1/2 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
1 loaf crusty bread
2 tbsp minced chives

Steps

Heat the oven to 375 F and place the bread halves on a baking sheet.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat, then cook the chopped shallot for 2 minutes.
Add the spinach and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, until wilted.
Mix the spinach mixture with drained artichokes, mayonnaise, cream cheese, lemon juice, garlic powder, pepper, and half the cheeses.
Spread the mixture over the bread and cover it with the remaining mozzarella and Parmesan.
Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, until the cheese bubbles and the bread edges are crisp, then top with chives.
