You’ll find this to be an extremely easy appetizer to make. First, sauté a little chopped onion in a little bit of butter. Add chopped spinach and roasted red peppers and let them cook down a bit. (P.S. I used thawed frozen spinach and a jar of roasted red peppers).
Then, stir in greek yogurt, cream cheese and cheddar cheese and allow it all to melt and get creamy. Place this flavorful mixture inside a hollowed out loaf of french bread, top with a little remaining cheese and bake in the oven. Easy and delicious!
If you’d like to give these stuffed french bread bites a little kick, add a tablespoon of chopped jalapeño peppers into the pan with the onions.
This deliciously cheesy Spinach and Cheese Stuffed French Bread is a hit at any party. Serve the dip with tortilla chips or cut into slices to serve.
Enjoy!
