Directions
Begin by preheating your oven to 180C (350F). This initial step is essential as a well-heated oven ensures even cooking. Then, carve the top off the cob loaf and pull out the soft bread inside, leaving a shell. Cut the removed bread and the lid into bite-sized chunks.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the thawed spinach, cream cheese, sour cream, half the mozzarella and parmesan cheese, chopped onion, and garlic. Season with salt and pepper according to your taste preference. Mixing the ingredients until well combined is the secret to achieving that perfect, creamy texture.
Next, spoon the spinach mixture into the hollowed-out cob loaf. You want to make sure every corner is filled to bring out the delicious taste with every bite. Sprinkle the rest of the mozzarella and parmesan cheese on top.
Bake the filled cob loaf and the bread pieces on a large baking tray for about 25 minutes or until the cheese is melted and slightly golden. Serving immediately will preserve the crunchiness of the bread and the creaminess of the dip. However, ensure the dip is not too hot for consumption.
Enjoy your delicious, home-made Cob Loaf Spinach Dip. It's perfect as an appetizer or party snack, and I guarantee you, it's an absolute crowd-pleaser!
