Ingredients
Scale
- 1 round bread loaf (sourdough or artisan)
- 1 cup cooked sausage (crumbled)
- 1 1/2 cups shredded cheese (cheddar and mozzarella)
- 1/4 cup cream cheese, softened
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- Fresh herbs for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Slice the top off the bread loaf and hollow out the center, leaving a sturdy 1-inch border around the edges. Save the removed bread for dipping later.
- In a bowl, mix the cooked sausage, softened cream cheese, shredded cheese, and garlic powder until well combined.
- Fill the hollowed-out bread with the sausage and cheese mixture, pressing it down gently to pack it evenly. Sprinkle extra cheese on top.
- Brush the bread crust with melted butter and an extra pinch of garlic powder for a crispy, golden finish.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, until the cheese is bubbly and the crust is golden.
- Remove from the oven, garnish with fresh herbs if desired, and serve warm. Use the bread lid or toasted pieces for dipping!
Notes
- For added flavor, sprinkle crispy bacon bits or red pepper flakes on top before baking.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated in the oven at 350°F (175°C) until warmed through.
- Experiment with different fillings like cooked bacon, shredded chicken, or sautéed veggies for a creative twist.
