   • Start by cutting out a hole in the center of the round rye bread, creating a bowl with a rim around it. Set aside the bread pieces that were removed to be torn into small pieces later for dipping.

2. Prepare the Dip:

   • In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, butter, sour cream, dry mustard, paprika, salt, and chopped green onion. Mix until smooth and well combined. Adjust seasoning to taste, and consider adding cumin or turmeric for additional flavor variations.

3. Assemble and Serve:

   • Spoon the prepared cheese mixture into the hollowed-out center of the rye bread. Place the filled bread bowl on a large round platter.
   • Surround the bread bowl with the torn pieces of rye bread, allowing guests to scoop up the creamy cheese dip with the bread pieces.

Tips for Success:

• Variety of Spices: Experiment with different spices like cumin and turmeric to customize the flavor of the cheese dip.

• Presentation: Ensure the rye bread bowl is well-hollowed but sturdy enough to hold the dip. The torn bread pieces should be small enough for easy scooping.

• Make Ahead: You can prepare the cheese dip ahead of time and refrigerate it. Fill the bread bowl just before serving to keep the bread and dip fresh.
