Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 Round sourdough bread loaf
- 8 oz Cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 2 Jalapeños, diced (seeds removed for less heat)
- 0.5 cup Cooked bacon, crumbled
- 4 tbsp Unsalted butter, melted
- 1 tsp Garlic powder
- 2 tbsp Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Using a sharp serrated knife, make diagonal cuts across the sourdough loaf in a crosshatch pattern, ensuring you do not cut all the way through the bread. Leave about 1/2 inch intact at the bottom.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, shredded mozzarella cheese, diced jalapeños, and crumbled bacon. Mix until well combined.
Carefully stuff the cream cheese mixture into the cuts of the bread, ensuring it gets into all the crevices.
In a small bowl, mix the melted butter and garlic powder. Brush the butter mixture generously over the entire loaf, getting into the crevices for added flavor.
Wrap the loaf tightly in aluminum foil, place it on a baking sheet, and bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes.
Unwrap the foil to expose the top of the bread and bake for an additional 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove from the oven, sprinkle with fresh parsley if desired, and serve warm. Enjoy pulling apart this cheesy, spicy delight!
