Notes
-
- Food Processor. Whenever I have a recipe that’s cheese-heavy like this one, I use my food processor to shred it! The food processor will shred the cheese for you in seconds! It’s usually cheaper to buy the block or wedge and it melts so much better than pre-shredded cheese from the grocery store.
-
- Salt and Pepper. The ingredient list for this spinach artichoke bread is short and sweet. So salt and pepper are going to go a long way in boosting the overall flavors of the dish! Don’t be skimpy – season moderately!
