Ingredients

  • 1 round sourdough loaf
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 23 jalapeños (fresh or jarred), diced
  • 4 slices cooked bacon, crumbled
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 2 green onions, chopped (optional for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Slice the top off the sourdough loaf and hollow out the center, leaving a 1-inch thick shell. Reserve the bread pieces for dipping.
  3. In a mixing bowl, combine cream cheese, sour cream, cheddar, mozzarella, jalapeños, bacon, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
  4. Spoon the mixture into the hollowed bread bowl and top with extra cheese and bacon if desired.
  5. Place the filled loaf on the baking sheet and bake for 25–30 minutes, or until the dip is bubbly and the bread is golden.
  6. Cool slightly, then garnish with chopped green onions and serve with bread pieces or crackers.

Notes

  • Use pepper jack cheese or add hot sauce for extra spice.
  • Leave out the bacon and add sautéed mushrooms for a vegetarian version.
  • Top with crushed tortilla chips before baking for added crunch.
  • Other sturdy round loaves like Italian or French boule also work well.
  • Reheat leftovers wrapped in foil at 350°F for 15–20 minutes, or microwave the dip separately.
