Ham & White Cheddar Dip Baked in a Bread Bowl image

Just a nice twist on ham and cheese. Simple to throw together and baked right in a pumpernickel bread bowl. Now, you could use rye, whole wheat, but the pumpernickel just tastes the best to me. Just a nice change for a party dip.

Time 1h15m

Yield 4 Cups of dip, approx, 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 round loaf pumpernickel bread
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese
2 cups white cheddar cheese (shredded)
1 1/2 cups sour cream (no low fat)
2/3 cup ham (pre-cooked and fine chopped. I just cut a thick slice of ham from the deli)
1/2 cup scallion, fine diced (green and white parts)
1 small onion, diced fine
1/2 teaspoon minced garlic
1/3 cup green chili (I use the mild, chopped fine. You can find them right in the Mexican or ethnic aisle in any major gr)
1 jalapeno pepper (to taste, seeds and ribs remove and fine chopped. You can use more of less if you want)
1/8 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
salt
pepper

Steps:

  • Dip -- First make sure your cream cheese is room temperature Then, in a medium bowl, add the cheddar cheese, cream cheese, sour cream, ham, chilies (green and jalapeno), scallions, onion, garlic, worcestershire, salt and pepper. Mix well and set to the side.
  • Bread -- Cut off a thin slice from the top of the loaf and scoop out the bread from the inside. Cut down as far as you can go with your knife without cutting through the outside of the loaf. Then use a spoon to get the rest of the bread out. That makes for great dipping.
  • Fill hollowed bread loaf with the dip; cover with reserved top slice of bread loaf and wrap the loaf in foil. In a 350 degree oven, bake 1 hour. Serve with reserved bread, crackers, bread sticks, vegetables, broccoli, even par boiled fingerlings are great with this. Endless things to dip.
  • A fun easy different dip which is just that little bit unique. And the best part it is kid and adult friendly and you can make it ahead. Just don't fill the bread bowl until you are ready to bake it. If I go to someones house, I usually bake it for about 45 and then just finish it in the oven there.

This dip was a disaster! The cheese curdled and the bread bowl was soggy. I would not recommend this recipe.

I found this dip to be bland. I would recommend adding some spices or herbs to give it more flavor.

This dip is a little too rich for my taste. I would probably cut down on the amount of cheese next time.

I'm not a fan of bread bowls, so I just served the dip in a regular bowl. It was still delicious.

This dip is a great way to get your kids to eat their vegetables. Just serve it with some carrot sticks or celery.

This dip is the perfect comfort food. It's warm, cheesy, and filling. I love to eat it on a cold winter day.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover ham. I always have a hard time finding ways to use up leftover ham, but this dip is a great solution.

This recipe is a winner! The dip is creamy and flavorful, and the bread bowl is the perfect touch. I will definitely be making this again.

This ham and white cheddar dip is to-die-for! I used a sourdough bread bowl and it was the perfect vessel for all that cheesy goodness. I also added a little bit of chopped green onion for an extra pop of flavor.
