Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 large round sourdough bread loaf
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 0.5 cup mayonnaise
- 0.5 cup sour cream
- 1 cup diced ham
- 1.5 cups shredded white cheddar cheese
- 2 stalks green onions, thinly sliced
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Cut the top off the sourdough bread loaf and set the top aside. Hollow out the center of the loaf to create a bowl, leaving about 1 inch of bread around the edges. Save the removed bread pieces for dipping later.
In a large bowl, mix together the cream cheese, mayonnaise, and sour cream until smooth.
Stir in the diced ham, shredded white cheddar cheese, sliced green onions, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper until thoroughly combined.
Spoon the dip mixture into the hollowed-out bread bowl, spreading it evenly.
Place the filled bread bowl on a baking sheet. Drizzle the olive oil over the bread bowl and the bread pieces you saved for dipping.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20–25 minutes, or until the dip is bubbly and the bread edges are golden brown.
Serve warm with the bread pieces, crackers, or vegetable sticks for dipping.
