Instructions
-
Prepare the Bread: Start by slicing the top off the sourdough bread loaf. Carefully scoop out the inside, ensuring that you leave about a one-inch shell to hold the dip.
-
Make the Cheese Mixture: In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, mild salsa, and shredded cheddar cheese until well blended.
-
Fill the Bread Shell: Spoon the creamy cheese mixture into the hollowed-out bread shell, ensuring an even distribution.
-
Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure a perfect baking environment for your dip.
-
Seal the Dip: Place the “lid” back on the loaf and wrap the entire loaf in three layers of aluminum foil to keep the heat in.
-
Bake: Place the wrapped loaf on a cookie sheet and bake in the preheated oven for one hour, allowing the flavors to meld beautifully.
-
Prepare for Serving: While the loaf is baking, cut the remaining bread into bite-sized pieces for dipping.
-
Serve: Once the hour is up, carefully remove the loaf from the oven, unwrap the foil, and place it on a serving platter. Remove the “lid” to reveal the hot cheese mixture.
-
Enjoy Cautiously: Allow your guests to dip the bread cubes into the warm cheese dip. (Caution: It will be very hot initially.) Consider having extra bread or crackers on hand for dipping.
-
Final Touch: After everyone has enjoyed the dip, guests can also cut up and eat the remaining bread shell as part of the fun!
Gather your friends and family for a cozy gathering, and serve this delightful dip that is bound to be the ultimate crowd-pleaser at your next event!
