Spinach Artichoke Dip Bread

I had this bread at a recent church activity and it was amazing.  I love spinach artichoke dip, and while I love dipping pita chips in it, slathering the tasty stuff on some toasty bread is also a really wonderful idea.  I asked around for the recipe from the church activity and was told that they had used Spinach Artichoke dip from Costco--spreading it on French bread, sprinkling it with mozzarella and parmesan cheese, and warming it in the oven.  I didn't want to make a trip to Costco in order to make this at home, so I made a simple homemade dip and it worked great. 

Spinach Artichoke Dip Bread
Ingredients:
8 oz. cream cheese, softened
14 oz. can artichokes, chopped
2 cups chopped spinach, slightly packed
2 teaspoon garlic, minced
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese, plus additional for sprinkling
1/3 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
Salt and pepper to taste
1 loaf French bread

Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  In a medium bowl combine cream cheese, artichokes, spinach, garlic, 1 cup mozzarella cheese, 1/3 cup Parmesan cheese, and salt and pepper to taste.  Mix well.

2. Cut loaf of French bread in half lengthwise (like cutting open a long hamburger bun).  Spread artichoke mixture on both sides.  Top with additional mozzarella cheese. 

3. Place on a baking sheet (lined with foil for easy clean up) and warm in oven until cheese is melted, but bread is not getting too dark on the bottom, about 8-12 minutes.
