Again looking for a cheesy alternative, I remembered the bread and a dip my mom's cousin used to make - not your regular spinach dip with sour cream and Knorr Vegetable Soup mix, but a more robust dip with cream cheese and cheddar. It was served inside a hollowed-out round pumpernickel with chunks of the innards and another bread for dipping.
I lost the recipe years ago, but decided to give it a try anyway. It might not be exactly like hers, but it tasted pretty darn good.

Oh, this sounds good! Although, I've gotta admit, i actually like that "other" dip...but yours does sound wildly delicious!
ReplyDeleteOoo I love the idea of using the bread as a vessel for the dip! Almost like a soup bread bowl...but I actually like dip better than soup!
ReplyDeleteI think serving the dip in the round bread is a very 1980s thing to do. However, I do recall Tim Horton's (a Canadian coffee/donut/lunch shop) serving chili in a bread bowl recently.
ReplyDeleteYou're seriously making me crave some pumpernickel. I've been into breakmaker recipes as of late, perhaps I need to find a good pumpernickel recipe!
ReplyDeleteWith a home made pumpernickel, my head would probably explode from the good flavours.
