Description

A simple, baked dip served inside a ring of bread.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 loaf (16 oz) sourdough bread
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 cup chopped green onions (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly grease a baking sheet.
  2. Slice the loaf of sourdough bread horizontally into three equal layers.
  3. Carefully hollow out the center of the top and bottom layers, leaving a 1-inch thick border to create a bread ring. Reserve the removed bread pieces.
  4. In a medium bowl, combine the cream cheese, sour cream, mayonnaise, garlic powder, onion powder, and pepper. Mix until smooth.
  5. Stir in the cheddar cheese and Monterey Jack cheese until evenly distributed.
  6. Spread the cheese mixture evenly inside the hollowed-out bread ring.
  7. Place the top layer of bread on the filled ring.
  8. Cut the reserved bread pieces into cubes for dipping.
  9. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the bread is lightly toasted.
  10. Garnish with chopped green onions before serving with the bread cubes.

Notes

  • You can substitute any firm, round loaf of bread for sourdough.
  • If the bread starts browning too quickly, loosely cover it with aluminum foil for the last 10 minutes of baking.
