Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 large loaf Cobb loaf or round crusty bread
- 250 grams Cream cheese
- 150 grams Sour cream
- 200 grams Grated cheddar cheese
- 150 grams Diced bacon
- 2 stalks Spring onions, finely chopped
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Chopped parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
Prepare the Cobb loaf by cutting off the top to create a lid and hollowing out the center to form a bowl. Set aside the removed bread and lid for later use.
In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced bacon and cook until crispy. Remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly.
In a mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, sour cream, grated cheddar cheese, cooked bacon, spring onions, and minced garlic. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
Spoon the cheese mixture into the hollowed-out Cobb loaf. Place the top lid back on the loaf.
Arrange the removed bread pieces around the loaf on a baking tray. These will be used for dipping later.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15–20 minutes, or until the cheese dip is hot and bubbly and the bread pieces are lightly toasted.
Remove from the oven and garnish with chopped parsley, if desired.
Serve warm, using the toasted bread pieces and lid for dipping. Enjoy!
