Impress your guests with a decadent spring onion and bacon dip served in a hollowed out cob loaf.
Ingredients:
  • 4.60 gm olive oil
  • 175g short-cut bacon, finely chopped
  • 4 spring onions, thinly sliced
  • 250g cream cheese, softened
  • 120g sour cream
  • 62.50 ml flat-leaf parsley, chopped
  • 500g loaf pane di casa
  • Olive oil spray
  • Mixed vegetable sticks, to serve
  • Spring onion, extra, shredded, to serve
Instructions:
  • Preheat your oven to 180C and prepare a baking tray by lining it with parchment paper.
  • In a medium frying pan over medium-high heat, heat oil. Add bacon and half of the spring onion. Cook and stir for 3 minutes or until the bacon begins to brown. Add garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant. Drain on paper towel.
  • In a large bowl, combine three-quarters of the bacon mixture with cream cheese, sour cream, parsley, and remaining spring onion. Season generously and mix until thoroughly combined.
  • 1. Trim off the top 4cm of the loaf and set aside. Hollow out the center of the loaf, leaving a 2cm-thick shell. Tear the removed bread into 3cm pieces. Fill the loaf with the bacon mixture. Place the hollowed bread, torn bread pieces, and bread lid on a baking tray. Lightly spray with oil. Bake for 20 minutes or until the bread turns golden. Garnish with the reserved bacon mixture and spring onion. Serve alongside assorted vegetables for dipping.
