Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
Thaw the frozen spinach by microwaving it for 2-3 minutes or letting it sit at room temperature. Squeeze out excess water using a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.
Finely dice the garlic clove and chop the spring onions.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, sour cream, grated cheddar cheese, thawed spinach, diced garlic, chopped spring onions, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until fully incorporated.
Cut the top off the cob loaf and set it aside. Hollow out the inside of the loaf, creating a bowl, and reserve the bread pieces for dipping.
Spoon the spinach dip mixture into the hollowed cob loaf, filling it to the brim.
Place the filled cob loaf along with the reserved bread pieces on a baking tray. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the dip is hot and bubbly and the bread is golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving.
Place the cob loaf on a serving platter and arrange the toasted bread pieces around it for dipping.
