Ingredients
Scale
Main Cheese and Protein Ingredients:
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 8 ounces (226 grams) cream cheese, softened
- ½ cup (120 milliliters) diced cooked ham
Bread Ingredient:
- 1 (16 ounces or 454 grams) loaf of French bread or sourdough bread
Seasoning and Flavor Enhancers:
- ½ cup (120 milliliters) sour cream
- ¼ cup (60 milliliters) green onions, finely chopped (optional)
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Craft a rustic bread vessel by slicing off the crown of the loaf and meticulously excavating its interior, creating a sturdy edible container with approximately one-inch thick walls.
- Pulverize cream cheese, cheddar, and sour cream into a silky amalgamation within a spacious mixing vessel.
- Integrate diced ham, verdant green onions, Worcestershire elixir, aromatic garlic and onion powders, plus delicate seasoning elements to elevate the mixture’s flavor profile.
- Tenderly ladle the creamy concoction into the hollowed bread sanctuary, ensuring comprehensive coverage.
- Envelop the loaded bread loaf completely in aluminum shielding, sealing in moisture and preventing exterior charring.
- Position the wrapped culinary creation onto a robust baking sheet, transporting it to a preheated 350F oven.
- Allow the dip to transform and bubble luxuriously for 35-40 minutes, developing a rich, molten consistency.
- Carefully unveil the foil wrapping, presenting the steaming bread bowl on an elegant serving platter.
- Accompany the dip with reserved bread fragments, crisp crackers, or vibrant vegetable sticks for delightful dunking experiences.
Notes
- Bread Selection Matters: Choose a sturdy, round sourdough or French bread that can hold the creamy dip without becoming soggy.
- Cheese Tip: Grate the cheese fresh for maximum melting and flavor intensity, avoiding pre-shredded varieties that contain anti-caking agents.
- Ham Variation: Swap traditional diced ham with bacon bits, pulled pork, or smoked turkey for different flavor profiles and dietary preferences.
- Make-Ahead Magic: Prepare the dip mixture up to 24 hours in advance and refrigerate, allowing flavors to meld together before baking for a more complex taste experience.
