Preparation of Bread

  1. 1

    Slice the Bread

    Cut the rustic bread into thick slices, about 1 inch each.

  2. 2

    Mix the Spread

    In a large bowl, combine the smoked gouda cheese, cream cheese, chopped artichokes, and jalapeños. Add the olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined and creamy.

    Add Fresh Herbs

    Fold in the chopped fresh parsley into the cheese mixture, ensuring it's evenly distributed.
