Delightful Spinach & Artichoke Stuffed Bread Cups featuring a creamy blend of spinach, artichokes, and cheeses baked inside crispy bread cups. Perfect as a savory appetizer or snack that combines soft, cheesy filling with a crunchy bread shell.

Ingredients

Scale

Bread Cups

  • 12 slices soft white or brioche bread (crusts removed)
  • 1 tbsp olive oil or melted butter (for brushing muffin pan)

Filling

  • 1 cup frozen chopped spinach, thawed & squeezed dry
  • 1 cup canned artichoke hearts, finely chopped
  • ½ cup cream cheese, softened
  • ½ cup shredded mozzarella
  • ¼ cup grated Parmesan
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp black pepper

Instructions

  1. Prepare Bread Cups: Flatten each slice of bread using a rolling pin until thin. Grease a muffin pan with olive oil or melted butter, then gently press each flattened bread slice into the muffin cups, shaping them to form bread cups that will hold the filling.
  2. Make Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the drained chopped spinach, finely chopped artichoke hearts, softened cream cheese, shredded mozzarella, grated Parmesan, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly until a creamy, well-blended filling forms.
  3. Fill Bread Cups: Spoon the prepared spinach and artichoke mixture evenly into each bread-lined muffin cup, filling them almost to the top.
  4. Bake: Place the muffin pan in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) and bake for 12–15 minutes, or until the edges of the bread are golden and crisp, and the filling is bubbly and heated through.
  5. Cool and Serve: Remove from the oven and let the cups cool slightly before gently removing them from the muffin pan to keep their shape intact. Serve warm as a delicious appetizer or snack.

Notes

  • Use brioche or milk bread for softer, tender bread cups; sourdough will give a crunchier texture.
  • Add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the filling for a spicy kick.
  • Make ahead by baking in advance and reheating the stuffed cups for 5–7 minutes before serving to refresh crispness.
