Ingredients
- 1 large round cob loaf
- 250 grams cream cheese
- 200 grams sour cream
- 1.5 cups grated cheddar cheese
- 200 grams diced bacon
- 3 stalks spring onions (green onions), finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 180°C (356°F) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
Step 2
Using a sharp knife, slice the top off the cob loaf and set it aside. Carefully hollow out the inside of the cob, removing the bread and creating a hollow shell. Tear the removed bread into bite-sized pieces for dipping later.
Step 3
In a medium skillet over medium heat, add the olive oil and cook the diced bacon until crispy. Remove from the skillet and set aside on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess grease.
Step 4
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, sour cream, grated cheddar cheese, cooked bacon, chopped spring onions, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.
Step 5
Fill the hollowed-out cob loaf shell with the cheese and bacon mixture, making sure to smooth the top for even cooking.
Step 6
Place the filled cob loaf along with the bread pieces on the prepared baking tray. Brush the bread pieces lightly with olive oil if desired for extra crispiness.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 25–30 minutes or until the cheese mixture is bubbly and golden on top, and the bread pieces are toasted.
Step 8
Remove from the oven and allow to cool for 5–10 minutes before serving.
Step 9
Serve the cheesy cob loaf warm with the toasted bread pieces for dipping. Enjoy!
