Bread Bowl Fondue

MAKES: 5 1/2 cups

COOK TIME: 1 Hr

Here's an appetizer that's guaranteed to win you rave reviews...one dip at a time. Our Bread Bowl Fondue is a modern day twist on fondue that's always a hit. When you serve this all-in-one, fun-do, fondue in the bread bowl, you better stand back, or you might get trampled!

What You'll Need

1 (1- to 1-1/2-pound) loaf plain rye bread, unsliced
2 cups (8 ounces) shredded cheddar cheese
1 (16-ounce) container sour cream
1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1 cup sliced scallions (7 to 8)
3 ounces bacon bits
1/8 teaspoon crushed red pepper
1/4 teaspoon caraway seed

What to Do

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
Cut top off bread loaf, about 1/3 of the way down; set top aside. Hollow out inside, leaving about 1 inch of bread around edges. Cut bread that was removed from the inside into 1-inch cubes; spread out on a baking sheet and set aside.
In a large bowl, mix together remaining ingredients until well blended. Spoon mixture into hollowed-out loaf and replace top of loaf. Double-wrap in aluminum foil.
Bake 60 to 70 minutes. Place bread cubes in oven during the last 15 minutes of baking, until crisp. Serve fondue with toasted bread cubes for dipping.

Note

In addition to serving with the bread cubes, serve with fresh-cut veggies, too!

Can you use another bread instead like French do not like Rye Bread!

Yes, you can use another type of bread if you prefer. However, it will need to be a hearty bread, like a homestyle white or sourdough. Most French bread varieties are going to be too light to hold up in this recipe.
