Mini Spinach Dip Bowls

These are likely the BEST appetizer I have ever had.  Thank you Pinterest for supplying me with this recipe (I added a little extra of things here and there and I think it made it perfect) :) I made these for our friends Christmas party (3 batches) and they were gobbled up almost immediately. Doesn't get much better than this!! Also, I had some left over filling and it was awesome just as a dip for crackers.

13.3 oz roll of refrigerated french bread loaf, I used simply natural by Pillsbury

2 Tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

2 cups baby spinach, chopped

2 cloves garlic, minced

3 oz softened cream cheese

1/2 cup sour cream

1/4 cup fresh shredded Parmesan cheese

1/2 teaspoon chili powder

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder or salt

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon pepper

1/3 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Spray 10 muffin cups with non stick cooking spray. Unroll package of french bread loaf and slice into 10 equal size slices (you actually might be able to get 12 cuts, I was). Press each slice into about a 3 inch round. Press into the bottom and up sides of the muffin cup. Set aside.
2. Heat oil in medium skillet over medium heat. Cook and stir spinach until wilted, about 3 minutes and then add garlic, cook and stir for another minute then turn off heat.
3. Place cream cheese, sour cream, cooked spinach and garlic, Parmesan cheese, chili powder, garlic salt, salt and pepper in a medium bowl. Mix until combined. With a medium scoop, scoop dip into each of the centers of the bread bowls. Top evenly with shredded cheese and bake for 15-17 minutes until edges turn brown.
4. Remove and devour!
