Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 round loaf of sourdough bread
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 3 jalapenos, finely diced
- 4 slices cooked bacon, crumbled
- 4 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 2 green onions, finely chopped
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
Using a serrated knife, cut the sourdough bread into a grid pattern, making 1-inch wide slices without cutting all the way through the bottom of the loaf. Turn the loaf 90 degrees and repeat to create a crosshatch pattern.
In a medium bowl, mix together the softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, shredded mozzarella cheese, diced jalapenos, and crumbled bacon until fully combined.
Gently spread the cheese mixture into the crevices of the sliced bread, ensuring it gets evenly distributed throughout.
In a small bowl, mix the melted butter and garlic powder. Drizzle the garlic butter evenly over the top of the loaf, making sure it seeps into the crevices as well.
Wrap the loaf tightly in aluminum foil and place it on the prepared baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes.
Carefully remove the foil from the loaf and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.
Remove the bread from the oven and sprinkle with chopped green onions and fresh parsley (if using). Allow to cool slightly before serving.
Serve the Jalapeno Popper Pull Apart Bread warm and enjoy!
