Description

This Sourdough Bread Bowl Cheese Dip is a warm, melty appetizer perfect for gatherings. Creamy Monterey Jack cheese mixed with black olives, tomatoes, green onions, jalapeño, and a blend of mayonnaise, butter, and cream cheese gets baked inside a hollowed sourdough loaf, creating a delicious dip served in an edible bread bowl.

Ingredients

Scale

Sourdough Bread Bowl

  • 1 round sourdough bread loaf

Cheese Dip

  • 1 pound Monterey Jack cheese, shredded
  • 1/2 cup black olives, diced
  • 1/2 cup tomatoes, diced
  • 1/4 cup green onions, diced
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup butter, softened
  • 1/4 cup cream cheese, softened
  • 1 jalapeño, seeded and diced (adjust to taste)
  • Salt to taste
  • Pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit to prepare for baking the dip.
  2. Prepare Bread Bowl: Cut the top off the sourdough bread loaf and carefully hollow out the inside, leaving about a 1/2-inch thick shell all around to hold the dip securely.
  3. Mix Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded Monterey Jack cheese, diced black olives, diced tomatoes, diced green onions, mayonnaise, softened butter, softened cream cheese, diced jalapeño, salt, and pepper. Mix thoroughly until well incorporated.
  4. Fill Bread Bowl: Pour the cheese mixture into the hollowed-out sourdough bread bowl, spreading it evenly.
  5. Bake the Dip: Place the filled bread bowl on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese dip is melted and the top is golden brown and slightly bubbly.

Notes

  • Adjust jalapeño quantity based on your preference for spice.
  • Use a serrated knife to hollow out the bread to avoid tearing the crust.
  • Serve immediately to enjoy the dip warm and melty.
  • The hollowed bread pieces can be toasted and served alongside for dipping.
  • For a variation, swap Monterey Jack with cheddar or a blend of your favorite cheeses.
