The Ultimate Cheesy Bread Bowl

My husband got this recipe from a friend he used to work with (thanks Brooke!) and now we can’t host an event without it! I detest mayonnaise, and I still love this appetizer.

The Ultimate Cheesy Bread Bowl

8 oz package softened cream cheese

1 c Hellman’s REAL mayonnaise (my husband refuses to let me buy anything else)
1/8 tsp of ground while pepper

1/8 tsp of garlic salt

10-12 oz of shredded extra sharp white cheddar cheese

Round loaf of White Mountain Bread

 

Cut a circle in top of bread and hollow out the top to create a large bread bowl. Take top of bread and pull into chunks and set aside.

Combine first four ingredients in medium size bowl and mix well. Add cheese to mixture.

Pour cheese mixture into hollowed out bread bowl. Bake on a cookie sheet at 400 degrees for 30-45 minutes (until bubbly with brown edges). If desired, scatter chunks of bread around the bread bowl on the cookie sheet during the last five minutes of cooking. Serve immediately and wait for compliments to the chef 🙂
