# Expert Hacks:

01 -
  • The combination of three cheeses creates this incredibly velvety texture that people literally cannot stop eating
  • Baking it inside the bread bowl means every single bite comes with that perfect sourdough crunch
02 -
  • Removing excess moisture from the spinach is the most critical step, and I learned this the hard way when my first attempt turned into spinach soup
  • The bread bowl can get soggy if it sits too long, so bake it right before you plan to serve
03 -
  • Use the bread you pull from the center as dippers, because why waste perfectly good sourdough
  • Line your baking tray with foil to save yourself from baked on cheese disaster cleanup
