Ingredients
- 1 large 20cm sourdough cob loaf.
- 1 tablespoon butter.
- 1 large brown onion, thinly sliced.
- 250 g bacon, rind removed, diced.
- 1 clove garlic, minced.
- 1 bunch spinach, trimmed and roughly chopped.
- 1 large zucchini, grated with extra moisture squeezed out.
- 250 g cream cheese.
- 300 g sour cream.
- 80 g Cheddar cheese, grated.
- 1 bunch chives, finely chopped.
Directions
- 1. Preheat oven to 180ºC/350ºF/Gas Mark 4.
2. Heat a large frypan over medium heat. Add in the bacon and onion and cook until onion is translucent and bacon is browned. Add garlic, spinach leaves and zucchini and cook, stirring until wilted. Place this mixture into a large mixing bowl.
3. Cut a hole in the top of your sourdough loaf and scoop out bread from the centre, leaving a 2cm edge of bread. Roughly chop these bread pieces and set aside.
4. Add the cream cheese, sour cream, Cheddar, chives and a generous seasoning of salt and pepper into the mixing bowl with the bacon mixture. Stir well until all combined. Scoop into the hollowed out loaf, then carefully place the loaf onto a large baking tray.
5. Place tray into the oven and bake for 10 minutes. Remove tray from the oven and scatter roughly chopped bread pieces around the loaf. Place back into the oven and bake for another 10 minutes until bread pieces are lightly golden. Serve warm.
