I have always loved a good cob loaf. Never in my life have I made one though, until new year's eve. I was feeling festive, so googled some recipes and found one that took my fancy!
This recipe is not my own - I mainly blog my recipes so I can find them anywhere, anytime. I'm organised with my spontaneity like that. I also like to come back and tweak recipes occasionally, to make them more my own style. Yes, I have my own cooking style. Usually involves insane levels of flavour. I'm all about those spices!
So here's the recipe. I hope you like it as much as myself and Spawn did!
INGREDIENTS:
1 cob loaf
200g bacon, diced
1 small onion, finely diced
250g cream cheese, softened
3 tbspn chives, chopped, plus extra for serving
2/3 cup sour cream
2/3 cup thickened cream
1 1/2 cups grated cheese (I used cheddar - use whichever - the richer, the more decadent the dip will be)
Salt & pepper, to season
METHOD:
Preheat oven to 180° (or 160° fanforced). Line a large baking tray with baking paper. Cut 4cm off top of cob loaf to form lid. Scoop bread from centre of loaf, leaving 1.5cm edge. Tear or roughly chop bread pieces.
Heat oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Add onion and bacon. Cook, stirring, for 5 minutes or until bacon is browned and onion has softened. Remove from heat, before adding chives to bacon mix. Stir in creamed cheese and mix until combined. Add cream, sour cream and grated cheese. Season with salt and pepper.
Spoon mixture into loaf. Arrange lid and bread pieces in a single layer around loaf. Bake for 20 minutes or until lightly toasted. Sprinkle top of dip with extra chives. Serve warm.
Enjoy!
