Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup black olives (pitted and drained)
- 8 oz cream cheese (softened)
- 0.5 cup sour cream
- 0.25 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp dried parsley
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 0.25 tsp black pepper
- 0.5 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
- 1 loaf round loaf of bread (e.g., sourdough or boule)
- 2 cups vegetable sticks or crackers (for serving)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a food processor, combine the black olives, cream cheese, sour cream, mayonnaise, garlic powder, onion powder, dried parsley, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Blend until smooth and creamy.
Transfer the mixture to a bowl and stir in the shredded Parmesan cheese.
Slice off the top of the round bread loaf and hollow out the center, creating a bread bowl. Reserve the removed bread pieces for dipping.
Fill the bread bowl with the olive dip mixture, smoothing the top.
Place the filled bread bowl on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes or until the dip is warm and the bread is lightly toasted.
While the dip bakes, prepare vegetable sticks or crackers for serving. You can optionally toast the reserved bread pieces as well.
Carefully remove the bread bowl from the oven. Serve hot with vegetable sticks, crackers, and the reserved bread pieces on the side.
