How to Make Artichoke Garlic Bread

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Cut two baguettes in half lengthwise.
3. Gently scoop out the soft inside of each baguette half, leaving a ½-inch border. Reserve the scooped-out bread.
4. Melt 4 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add 4 cloves of minced garlic and 1 tablespoon of sesame seeds. Sauté for 2 minutes, or until fragrant and softened – do not brown.
5. Add the reserved baguette pieces to the skillet and sauté until golden brown, about 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
6. Remove the skillet from the heat. Stir in ½ cup sour cream, 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese, ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese, ¼ cup chopped fresh parsley, 1 teaspoon lemon pepper, and 1 (14-ounce) can of artichoke hearts, drained and chopped.
7. Arrange the baguette shells on a baking sheet.
8. Fill each baguette shell generously with the artichoke mixture.
9. Sprinkle the top of each filled baguette with ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese.
10. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until golden brown and heated through.
11. Let cool slightly before slicing and serving.
