Recipe Introduction

I always make this appetizer around the holidays- it's delicious! I grew up about 40 miles from Gilroy, CA, where the Garlic Festival is held every year- that's where this recipe came from. Enjoy!

List of Ingredients

8 oz. cream cheese, room temperature
1 pint sour cream
12 oz. shredded cheddar cheese
12 cloves garlic, finely minced
1 bunch green onions, chopped
1 can water-packed artichoke hearts, drained and chopped
1 round sourdough bread loaf
1-2 baguette loaves french bread


Recipe

Cut a hole in the top of the round bread loaf. Hollow out the bread round and set aside. Sautee garlic and onions in 1 tbsp butter until soft; set aside. Mix cream cheese and sour cream. Stir in cheddar cheese, garlic/onion mixture, and artichoke hearts. Pour into hollowed bread round and replace the "lid". Double-wrap with aluminum foil and bake at 350 degrees for 1½ to 2 hours. Serve with sliced french baguettes.
