Cheesy Sriracha Cob Loaf Dip is a creamy, spicy, and cheesy party dip baked inside a hollowed-out bread loaf. The gooey filling combines cream cheese, sour cream, melted cheese, and sriracha for the perfect crowd-pleasing appetizer.

Ingredients

  • 1 large round cob loaf (or similar crusty bread)
  • 250 g (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup sour cream or Greek yogurt
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or a mix)
  • 23 tbsp sriracha sauce (adjust to taste)
  • 12 cloves garlic, minced (or 1/2 tsp garlic powder)
  • 2 tbsp chopped spring onion or chives (optional)
  • 23 tbsp cooked and crumbled bacon (optional)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • The torn-out bread pieces from the loaf, for dipping

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 175–180°C (350–360°F).
  2. Slice the top off the cob loaf and hollow out the centre, leaving a sturdy shell. Tear the removed bread into bite-sized pieces for dipping.
  3. Place the loaf shell and bread pieces on a parchment-lined baking tray.
  4. In a bowl, mix cream cheese, sour cream, garlic, salt, pepper, shredded cheese (reserve some for topping), and sriracha. Adjust spice level to taste. Stir in bacon and spring onion if using.
  5. Spoon the mixture into the hollow loaf and top with remaining shredded cheese.
  6. Bake for 20–25 minutes, until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and golden brown. Toast the bread pieces alongside if desired.
  7. Remove from oven, replace the bread “lid,” and serve warm with the toasted bread chunks or other dippers.

Notes

  • Adjust sriracha to control the spice level.
  • Use different cheeses like pepper jack or gouda for variation.
  • Add-ins like bacon, corn, or roasted peppers enhance flavour.
  • Serve immediately to keep the bread shell from getting soggy.
  • Vegan version: use dairy-free cheese and cream substitutes.
