This is great to serve as an hors d'oeuvres during football season or during a cocktail party at anytime of the year. I've listed the serving size as 6-12. It really depends on how many pieces your guests eat.

How To Make baked garlic-stuffed antipasto bread

Step 1

Thaw spinach and squeeze dry. Set aside.

Step 2

Drain and coarsely chop artichoke hearts. Make sure you use the un-marinated ones. Also peel and coarsely chop the garlic and parsley. Set aside.
Step 3

Cut top off french bread lengthwise and set aside. Carefully scoop out the inside of loaf, tearing bread into small pieces and putting them in a large mixing bowl.
Step 4

In a large non-stick skillet, melt butter and oil until slightly bubbling. Add garlic and stir for 30 seconds.
Step 5

Add spinach, artichoke hearts, parsley and anchovies, and stir lightly with a wooden spoon. When thoroughly mixed and heated through, add to the bowl with the bread pieces and toss until well-incorporated.
Step 6

Add the cheeses, capers and seasonings. Mix well.
Step 7

Pack mixture into hollowed out bread crust. Replace top and wrap in tin foil.
Step 8

Bake for 30 minutes at 350 degrees.
Step 9

Unwrap, drizzle some additional olive oil on top of crust and bake uncovered for 5 minutes.
Step 10

Cut into 1-1/2 inch slices and serve warm.
