This is a great allternative to the spincah in a boule recipe. There is something about tha warm appetizer that is more classy than a cold dip!

The family loved this recipe, even my non-broccoli-eating 9 yr old. It took a little longer to prepare than I had planned, but the end result was scrumptious. A great party dish.

I've been making this great quick appetizer for 8 years now. I found it in Favorite Brand Name Cookbook. My family and friends are always asking me to make it for get-togethers. It is so easy. I usually just cut up the bread and serve it on the side, makes for easier re-heating.
