Instructions:

Prepare the Filling:
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the shredded cheddar cheese, sour cream, cream cheese, and garlic. Use a spatula or spoon to mix everything together until smooth and fully incorporated. -
Prepare the Bread:
Take a round loaf of bread and carefully cut out the center to create a hollow space, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges. You can discard the center or use it for other recipes like breadcrumbs. -
Fill the Bread:
Spoon the creamy cheese mixture into the hollowed-out bread, making sure to pack it in evenly. Pat the mixture gently to ensure it sticks well to the bread’s walls. -
Bake:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the filled loaf onto a baking sheet and bake for about 45 minutes, or until the bread is golden and the cheese filling is bubbly and slightly browned. -
Serve and Enjoy:
Once baked, remove the Apache Bread from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before slicing. Serve as an appetizer or snack for a crowd, and watch it disappear quickly!
Tips for Perfect Apache Bread:
- Use Fresh Ingredients: The fresher your cheese and sour cream, the creamier and more flavorful your filling will be.
- Bread Choice: A round loaf of crusty bread works best for this recipe. Consider using a sourdough or ciabatta loaf for added flavor.
- Make It Spicy: If you enjoy a bit of heat, try adding a pinch of red pepper flakes or some finely chopped jalapeños to the cheese mixture.
- Customization: Feel free to experiment with different types of cheese, such as mozzarella or Monterey Jack, for a different twist on the classic flavor.
