Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/4 (1 pound) loaf round bread
1/4 (8 ounce) package shredded Cheddar cheese
1/2 (3 ounce) package cream cheese
1/4 cup and 2 tablespoons sour cream
1/4 cup cooked ham, diced
2 tablespoons chopped green onions
1/4 (4 ounce) can diced green chile peppers
1/4 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1-1/2 teaspoons vegetable oil
3/4 teaspoon butter, melted
Assorted fresh vegetables

Steps:

  • Cut the top fourth off the loaf of bread; set top aside. Carefully hollow out bottom, leaving a 1/2-in. shell. Cube removed bread; set aside. In a bowl, combine the process cheese, sour cream and cream cheese. Stir in the ham, green onions, chilies and Worcestershire sauce. Spoon into bread shell; replace top. Wrap tightly in heavy-duty foil and place on a baking sheet. Bake at 350 degrees F for 60-70 minutes or until the filling is heated through. Meanwhile, toss reserved bread cubes with oil and butter. Place in a 15-in. x 10-in. x 1-in. baking pan. Bake for 10-15 minutes or until golden brown, stirring occasionally. Unwrap loaf and remove bread top; stir filling. Serve with vegetables and toasted bread cubes.

Tips:

  • Choose the right bread bowl: Opt for a sturdy bread bowl that can hold the weight of the filling without becoming soggy. A round or oval loaf works best.
  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: The better the quality of your ingredients, the better your cheese and ham bread bowl will taste. Look for fresh, flavorful cheese and ham, and use a good-quality bread.
  • Don't overfill the bread bowl: Leave some room at the top of the bread bowl so that the filling doesn't overflow when it's baking.
  • Bake the bread bowl until the cheese is melted and bubbly: The baking time will vary depending on the size of your bread bowl and the type of cheese you're using. Keep an eye on the bread bowl while it's baking to make sure it doesn't overcook.
  • Serve the bread bowl warm: The cheese and ham bread bowl is best served warm, right out of the oven. You can garnish it with fresh herbs or a drizzle of olive oil before serving.
