Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 whole Round rye bread loaf
- 227 grams Cream cheese
- 120 grams Sour cream
- 180 grams Shredded cheddar cheese
- 120 grams Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 50 grams Diced green onions
- 2 cloves Minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Slice off the top of the round rye bread loaf and set it aside. Hollow out the loaf by removing the bread from the inside, leaving about 1 inch of bread around the outer edges to form a bowl. Reserve the removed bread pieces for dipping later.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, sour cream, shredded cheddar cheese, shredded mozzarella, diced green onions, minced garlic, salt, ground black pepper, and paprika. Mix until thoroughly combined.
Spoon the cheese mixture into the hollowed-out bread bowl, packing it evenly.
Place the filled bread bowl on a baking sheet. Arrange the reserved bread chunks around the bread bowl on the same baking sheet for toasting, if desired.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20–25 minutes, or until the cheese mixture is bubbling and golden on top, and the bread chunks are toasted.
Carefully remove the baking sheet from the oven. Let the cheese-filled bread bowl cool slightly before serving.
Serve warm by tearing off pieces of the toasted bread chunks or the bread bowl itself to dip into the hot, cheesy filling.
