Sharing my Spinach Dip Mini Bread Bowls today! The best Superbowl food for your family and friends! Bite size and delicious!
Does it get any better than spinach dip? In little bread bowls? Nope. Superbowl food is some of my favorite foods to prepare. These are cute aren’t they. I thought it would be fun to share some fun party food this week to get ready for game day.
It’s no secret that I am only interested in the commercials and half time performances of Superbowl but I do LOVE to make party food, so let’s celebrate with fun food 🙂

How To Prepare Spinach Dip Bread Bowls
Here are your ingredients, nice and simple. Use any refrigerated French bread loaf you’d like.
Can I Use Other Bread Options?
You sure can! Pizza dough, biscuit dough and crescent dough will work for this recipe.
I used the Pillsbury French loaf for this recipe. Simple to use.
Unroll your french bread loaf and cut into 10 equal slices, about 1 inch thick. If you are using a different type of dough, divide it into 10 equal pieces similar in size that will fit in a muffin tin.
What Kind of Muffin Tin Should I Use?
I prefer my non-stick traditional size muffin tin for this recipe. The bread bowls come right out after slightly cooled. Check your local Target or Walmart in the baking pan section. Amazon also has a big selection. If you are not using a non-stick muffin tin, lightly spray with cooking spray.
Flatten each slice of bread dough with the palms of your hands about a 3 inch round.
Press in the bottom and up the sides of your muffin tin.
Spinach Dip Recipe
Chop the baby spinach and cook in hot skillet. It wilts quickly 🙂
Now add your garlic and stir it all up for a good minute or so.
Place your cream cheese, sour cream, spinach and parmesan cheese into a mixing bowl. Mix mix mix.
Add a pinch of smoked paprika then add the garlic salt.
Add the salt and pepper. Give another good mix.
Scoop dip into your bread bowls.
Sprinkle with cheese, bake for 15 minutes and….see photo below 🙂
Wait until you dig into these 🙂 Enjoy!

These were great! I made them in mini-muffin tins, and just divided the dough into 24 sections. I found they took a little longer to cook at my house (like 18-20 min). Definately serve warm – they’re not as good when they cool (still good, but better warm). Also, I subbed lower fat cream cheese, sour cream and part skim mozzarella and they came out to be 1 “points plus” point each for Weight Watchers. YUM! Thank you!!
Making these for the game today! Maybe some of them will actually make it to kick-off time 🙂
OMG Jenny you are soooooo brilliant! You never cease to amaze and inspire me! These are so stinkin’ cute and look perfect! Great job thank you for sharing your awesome-ness with us! 😉
These were so good! I impressed all my friends (since I am usually not a cooker at all) and everyone loved them! Can’t wait to make them again!
I made these tonight and they were delicious! thanks for the recipe!
So glad you enjoyed them Crystal!!
Oh my gosh, what a cute idea.
Jenny, do you think I could use some of my pillsbury biscuit dough instead? Does it matter that it’s the French loaf?
Hi Jenny, I am making these for my sons Birthday party so I have a few (silly) questions. Can I prepare these in advance and if so, how long? Is one bag of baby spinach about 2 cups?
Thanks!
These are insanely cute!!! I didn’t know about that new line of Pillsbury dough – good to know! Can’t wait to try these out!
I made these last night for my church’s small group night and they were so delicious! Gone very quickly too! Can’t wait to make a batch just for myself next time 🙂
Saw this today and decided to make it, VERY glad I did! Yum! My husband and I loved these! I goofed and mixed the mozzarella in and it still turned out tastey!
I am having a big party tomorrow and want to try these, is it ok to make the spinach dip today (one day ahead)?

I found your website about 2 weeks ago and I love it! I am the only cook in a gorup of 12 friends so I often “cater” our parties. Made the spinach dip bread bowls as a veggie option in my spread and EVERYONE (including my picky bf) gobbled them up.
Not only that, but they were quick and easy to make! Thanks for this recipe and keep them coming!
So great to hear it Anna, lad you are enjoying 🙂
[…] Last weekend, Bob’s bosses and co-workers came over for dinner, and I had to get into top notch hostess mode. We served slow roasted pork belly, sous vide duck breast, grilled brussel sprouts, homemade cheesy tater tots, and my favorite frozen key lime pie. However, I was at a loss for finger foods. After a call out on Twitter, a ton of great suggestions came to my rescue, and I decided to make these Mini Spinach Dip Bread Bowls by Picky Palate. […]

I’m a little sad I’m not hungry right now reading this recipe because my brain wants to eat these NOW, but alas my tummy is full, so I’ll have to wait. They look amazing! You’re so creative…can’t wait to try these!!

Love that there is simply products – have only seen the cookies. Anxiously awaiting the biscuits and cinnamon rolls in central Iowa!
No Ancho Pepper spice in the McCormick Gourmet rack at the local Walmart in Copperas Cove, Texas. I was sad. Going to try it anyway, with a little Cayenne instead.
Darn! I bet the cayenne works just fine 🙂 Let me know how it turns out for you!
Cayenne worked fine, though I was a little heavy handed with it. We like things spicy, but my “little extra” was a little too much! They were delicious and gave me a slew of great ideas to use the french bread dough for though. I’m thinking mini pizzas and tuna melts. I’m not sure which to try first!
The options are endless Jackie, have fun experimenting!! I tend to go heavy on the spices too 🙂

These will be great for football games! I’m always looking for a great appetizer and I really love ones that are individual servings.
These look amazing! I was wondering if they would be any good made a day ahead, refrigerated, then reheated in the oven?
Thanks!

Has anyone made these ahead of time..prepped until the baking part and then put in the freezer? What about one day ahead and reheated day of??
Thanks 🙂
Awesome! I’m collecting recipe ideas for a graduation party & this is so perfect. Thanks! (I found this via Pinterest…)
These were delicious. I had to bake them longer to get the crispy brown edges but they were a hit. Thanks 🙂
Thanks for sharing the recipe. You do a great job of explaining the steps. Do you serve these warm, or can they be served cold too?
