Proudly supported by

TIP! Cob loaf is available from most major supermarkets. Filling is best made just before serving. It makes about 3 cups.

Ingredients

1 large white cob loaf (500g)

250g diced bacon

250g tub sour cream

250g block cream cheese, chopped

1 ½ cups grated vintage Tasty cheese

Finely chopped fresh parsley, to garnish (optional)

Method

  1. Using a serrated knife, cut the top quarter off cob loaf. Pull away the soft bread from inside the loaf, leaving a 2cm-thick shell. Tear bread and lid into large pieces. Place loaf, lid and bread pieces on an oven tray lined with baking paper.  

  2. Cook in a moderate oven (180C) for about 10 minutes, or until golden and crisp. Remove. 

  3. Meanwhile, to make filling, heat an oiled, medium, deep frying pan over a medium to high heat. Add bacon. Cook, stirring occasionally for about 5 minutes, or until crisp. Remove and reserve ¼ cup of the bacon. 

  4. Add cream and both cheeses to pan with remaining bacon. Stir over a medium heat until melted. (Do not boil.) Season with pepper. 

  5. Pour into loaf. Sprinkle with reserved bacon. Garnish with parsley. Serve with bread pieces.
