Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 whole Round sourdough bread loaf
- 8 oz Cream cheese
- 1 cup Sour cream
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 2 tablespoons Chopped green onions
- 12 whole Black olives
- 1 tablespoon Chopped fresh parsley
- 2 cups Assorted crackers or vegetable sticks
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Cut the top off the sourdough bread loaf and hollow out the center, leaving about 1 inch of bread around the edges. Reserve the removed bread pieces for dipping.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, sour cream, shredded cheddar cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, and chopped green onions. Mix until smooth and well combined.
Transfer the dip mixture into the hollowed-out bread bowl. Place the lid of the bread loaf back on top lightly.
Wrap the bread bowl in aluminum foil and place it on a baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes, or until the dip is warmed through and the cheese has melted.
While the dip is baking, prepare the 'spider' decorations. Slice some black olives in half lengthwise to make bodies, and cut others into thin strips to create legs.
Remove the bread bowl from the oven and unwrap the foil carefully. Arrange your olive spiders on top of the dip or around the bread bowl for decoration.
Sprinkle chopped parsley over the dip and serve the bread bowl on a large platter surrounded by assorted crackers, vegetable sticks, and reserved bread pieces for dipping.
Enjoy your Spider Dip Bowl at your spooky celebration!
