Jalapeno Popper Dip

1. I found the bake time was 15 minutes LONGER when I made this using a sourdough bread because it is denser so it took longer for the middle of the dip to heat up. If you get impatient, just pop it in the microwave (after baking it). The bread stays crispy but the inside gets molten very quickly. I did this when I made it a couple of weeks ago, it was actually rather handy to speed up the bake time. Also remember that if the wall of the bread bowl is thicker, it will take longer to bake.

Note the Cob bread shown in the photos is smaller than what I usually use because for some weird reason, both bakeries were sold out of normal round Cobs on the day I made this for the photo so I had to make do with a slightly smaller one. So I had excess dip which I just popped into a ramekin.

2. BAKING DISH: This can be made in a baking dish if you prefer. It does not need to be covered and will only take around 25 minutes in the oven until it is golden brown on top and bubbling.

3. Nutrition per serving, assuming 10 servings (about 1/3 cup per person). Dip only, no chips.
