Ingredients

• 1 loaf round sourdough bread loaf (about 10-12 inches in diameter)
• 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
• 1 cup sour cream
• 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.25 cup chopped green onions (optional)
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 package extra bread or crackers for dipping

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Carefully slice off the top of the sourdough bread loaf to create a lid. Set the lid aside.

Step 3

Hollow out the center of the bread loaf, leaving about 1 inch of bread around the edges to create a sturdy bowl. Reserve the removed bread pieces for dipping.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, sour cream, cheddar cheese, mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, Italian seasoning, salt, black pepper, and green onions (if using). Mix well until smooth and fully incorporated.

Step 5

Spoon the cheese mixture into the hollowed-out bread bowl, pressing it down evenly.

Step 6

Brush the outside of the bread bowl and the reserved lid with olive oil. Arrange the reserved bread chunks on a baking sheet around the bread bowl.

Step 7

Place the bread bowl and lid on the baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese mixture is hot and bubbly, and the bread edges are golden brown.

Step 8

Remove the bread bowl from the oven and let it cool slightly. Place the lid back on top for presentation if desired.

Step 9

Serve the Cheesy Bread Bowl Dip warm with the reserved bread chunks, extra bread, or crackers for dipping. Enjoy!
