How to Make Feta Spinach Stuffed French Bread

Gather your ingredients, and let’s jump into the fun part. Here’s what you need:

Ingredients:
8 oz cream cheese (room temperature), 1/2 cup mayonnaise, 1/2 cup sour cream, 1 package Lipton onion soup mix, 1/2 tsp fresh cracked black pepper, 2 cups mozzarella cheese (separated), 1 cup feta cheese, 10 oz package frozen chopped spinach, 24 slices of sliced salami rounds (chopped), 2 loaves french bread or 4 baguettes

Feta Spinach Stuffed French Bread

Directions:
First things first, preheat the oven to 350°F. Now, let’s get that spinach ready. Thaw it and drain well in a sieve, pressing to get out any excess water. Toss the spinach in a bowl and set it aside for later.

Next, take your loaf of bread and slice the top off horizontally. Now it’s time to scoop out the insides, leaving a nice crusty shell. Don’t toss that bread—you can use it for some delicious cinnamon sugar pull-apart bread or something else fun.

In a mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, mayonnaise, sour cream, onion soup mix, and black pepper. Give it a good mix until everything is blended. Then, add in 1 cup of mozzarella and the feta cheese, mixing it all in. Now, fold in the spinach and salami. You’ll want to make sure everything is well combined for maximum flavor.

Divide your creamy mixture between the loaves of bread. Don’t forget to sprinkle the remaining mozzarella on top. It’s going to be cheese-tastic!

Pop your stuffed loaves into the oven for 20-24 minutes. You’ll know they’re done when the tops are golden and bubbling. Let them cool slightly before slicing into that gooey goodness!

How to Serve Feta Spinach Stuffed French Bread

Serve this scrumptious bread while it’s warm. It pairs beautifully with a fresh salad, like a zesty blueberry lemon cream cheese salad or just some simple veggies.

How to Store Feta Spinach Stuffed French Bread

If you have any leftovers (which might be a stretch!), wrap them tightly in plastic wrap or foil to keep them fresh. You can store them in the fridge for up to three days. Just reheat in the oven for a few minutes to bring back that crispy crust!

Tips to Make Feta Spinach Stuffed French Bread

Here are a few tips to make your stuffed bread even better! If you love a little kick, try adding some crushed red pepper flakes to the filling. You can also swap the salami for any deli meat you prefer. And if you’ve got any leftover bread from scooping out the loaves, make some delicious banana bread donuts with it!

Variation (If Any)

Feeling adventurous? You can try different cheeses such as cheddar or even pepper jack for added flavor. Switching up the greens is also an option; fresh spinach can be replaced with kale or arugula for a different twist.

FAQs

Can I use fresh spinach instead of frozen?
Absolutely! Just sauté the fresh spinach until it’s wilted before mixing it into your filling.

How cheesy can I make this?
You can definitely amp up the cheese! Just make sure to balance it out with the other ingredients so it doesn’t become too gooey.

Can I freeze the stuffed bread?
Yes! You can freeze the filled loaves before baking. Just wrap them well and pop them in the freezer. When you’re ready to enjoy, bake them straight from frozen, adding a little extra time in the oven.
