A quick and easy crowd-pleasing dip featuring a creamy, spicy jalapeño popper filling baked inside a crusty sourdough bread bowl, perfect for game nights and gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
  • 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
  • 2–3 jalapeños, seeded and finely chopped
  • 1/4 cup sour cream (optional)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons green onions, sliced
  • 1 round sourdough loaf, about 8 inches
  • Optional toppings: crispy bacon bits, extra shredded cheddar or parmesan

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Using a serrated knife, cut a circle about 2 inches from the top of the sourdough loaf. Remove the lid and hollow out the inside, leaving about a 1-inch thick shell all around.
  3. In a medium bowl, combine softened cream cheese, sour cream (if using), shredded cheddar, mozzarella, chopped jalapeños, minced garlic, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix until smooth and evenly combined.
  4. Spoon the dip mixture into the hollowed sourdough loaf, packing gently but leaving a little room at the top.
  5. Sprinkle optional toppings like extra cheddar or crispy bacon bits on top if desired.
  6. Place the filled bread bowl on a baking sheet and bake for 25-30 minutes until the top is golden brown and bubbly.
  7. Remove from oven, sprinkle sliced green onions on top, replace the bread lid if desired, and serve immediately with toasted bread chunks or veggies.

Notes

Soften cream cheese before mixing for smooth texture. Hollow bread carefully to maintain a thick shell to prevent leaks. Freshly shred cheese for best melt quality. Bake uncovered at 375°F for a crispy top; optionally broil 1-2 minutes for extra crunch. Serve warm for best experience. Adjust jalapeño quantity to control heat. Leftover dip can be refrigerated up to 3 days and reheated at 350°F for 10-15 minutes.
