A creamy, spicy, and cheesy jalapeño popper dip baked inside a crusty sourdough bread bowl, perfect for quick gatherings and cozy snacking.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 medium sourdough bread bowl (about 8 inches diameter)
  • 8 oz (225 g) cream cheese, softened
  • ½ cup (120 ml) mayonnaise
  • 2–3 fresh jalapeños, finely chopped (adjust to taste, remove seeds for less heat)
  • 2 stalks green onions, thinly sliced
  • 1 cup (115 g) shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup (115 g) shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • ½ tsp smoked paprika
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • ½ cup (75 g) bacon bits (optional, pre-cooked)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Slice off the top third of the sourdough loaf to create a lid. Carefully scoop out the interior bread, leaving about a 1-inch thick shell. Set aside the bread chunks for toasting or another use.
  3. In a medium mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and mayonnaise until smooth and creamy.
  4. Stir in the finely chopped jalapeños, sliced green onions, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.
  5. Fold in shredded cheddar cheese, shredded mozzarella cheese, and optional bacon bits.
  6. Spoon the mixture into the hollowed sourdough shell, packing gently but not overfilling. Place the bread lid on top or to the side for serving.
  7. Place the filled bread bowl on a baking sheet and bake for 25-30 minutes until bubbly and golden brown.
  8. Remove from oven and let cool for 5 minutes before serving. Scoop out the dip with toasted bread chunks or fresh vegetables.

Notes

Use room temperature cream cheese for smooth texture. Adjust jalapeño heat by removing seeds or adding more peppers. Do not overfill the bread bowl to avoid bubbling over. For extra crunch, sprinkle panko breadcrumbs mixed with melted butter on top before baking. Bread bowl alternatives include rye or country bread. Toast bread chunks for dipping during baking time.
