Ingredients

  • 16 ounces French bread 1 loaf, cut into slices
  • 16 ounces reduced-fat cream cheese 2 bricks, room temperature
  • 1 cup mayonnaise with olive oil
  • ¼ cup light sour cream
  • 2 garlic cloves minced
  • 14 ounces canned marinated artichoke hearts 1 can, drained and chopped
  • ½ teaspoon garlic salt
  • 1 tablespoon dried parsley
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
  • ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Place the bread on a foil-lined baking sheet and brush or spray with olive oil.
    16 ounces French bread
  • Bake the bread for 8-10 minutes, until crispy and golden; set aside.
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the cream cheese, mayonnaise, sour cream, garlic, chopped artichokes, garlic salt, parsley, and both types of Parmesan cheese together until well combined.
    16 ounces reduced-fat cream cheese, 1 cup mayonnaise with olive oil, ¼ cup light sour cream, 2 garlic cloves, 14 ounces canned marinated artichoke hearts, ½ teaspoon garlic salt, 1 tablespoon dried parsley, 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese, 1 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
  • Scoop a generous amount of the spread onto each slice of bread and sprinkle with the shredded mozzarella cheese.
    ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • Broil in the oven for 5-7 minutes until cheese is bubbly and slightly browned on top. Watch closely to avoid burning.

Notes

  • Slice the bread at an angle for maximum surface area.
  • Gently rub the clove over the bread slices, for an extra garlic hit.
  • Mayonnaise made with olive oil has fewer calories than traditional mayo, and has a richer flavor.
  • Don't be shy when spreading your topping on the bread!
  • Don’t be afraid to try different flavor combinations. Stir sun-dried tomatoes or roasted red peppers into the mixture before spreading to add even more flavor. 
  • You can also serve this as a dip. Bake for around 15 minutes at 350 degrees, until melty and bubbly.
