A hot, creamy, and cheesy dip made with five types of cheese, perfect for serving with crusty bread.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 round loaf sourdough bread
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
  • 1/4 cup shredded Gruyere cheese
  • 1/4 cup shredded Provolone cheese
  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon dried parsley
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly grease an oven-safe dish large enough to hold the bread bowl, or prepare the sourdough loaf.
  2. If using a sourdough loaf, carefully cut out the soft interior bread, leaving a sturdy 1-inch thick shell. Set the removed bread aside for dipping.
  3. In a medium bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, mozzarella, Parmesan, Monterey Jack, Gruyere, Provolone, sour cream, minced garlic, parsley, and black pepper. Mix until all ingredients are fully incorporated and smooth.
  4. If using the bread shell, spoon the cheese mixture back into the hollowed-out loaf. If using a separate dish, transfer the mixture to the dish.
  5. Place the bread shell (or the dish) on a baking sheet. If you hollowed out the loaf, place the removed bread pieces around the shell for dipping.
  6. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the dip is hot, bubbly, and the top is lightly golden brown.
  7. Serve immediately with the toasted bread pieces or extra crusty bread slices.

Notes

  • To make the bread shell sturdier, you can brush the inside lightly with melted butter before filling.
  • For extra flavor, stir in 2 tablespoons of chopped cooked bacon or green onions into the cheese mixture before baking.
  • If you prefer a smoother top, place the dip under the broiler for the last 1-2 minutes, watching closely to prevent burning.
