Jalapenos, cream cheese and cheddar cheese are spooned into a round of sourdough bread in this delicious Jalapeno Cheese Bread Bowl recipe, an awesome appetizer for holidays, parties and Super Bowl!
In a mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese, and diced jalapenos.
Slice the top ½ inch off of the round of sourdough bread. Cut a circle from the middle of the sourdough loaf being careful not to cut through to the bottom of the loaf.
Spoon the cream cheese mixture in the middle of the loaf. Top with the remaining cup of shredded cheddar cheese.
Place on a baking dish and cover with the top slice of bread. Bake in the oven for 20-25 minutes.
Remove from the oven and slice the top piece of bread into cubes for dipping.
Optional: top the melty cheese mixture with cooked, crumbled bacon and minced jalapenos.
Cut slits every inch along the edge of the bread bowl, for easy pulling apart and dipping.
Notes
To make this recipe vegetarian, omit the optional bacon addition on top.
