Description

A gooey, cheesy, and indulgent baked dish featuring a crispy crust and an irresistible cheese pull that’s perfect for sharing.


Ingredients

Scale

For the Crust:

  • 1 large round loaf of sourdough bread
  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

1. Prepare the Crust:

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Slice off the top of the sourdough loaf and hollow out the center, leaving a 1-inch border to create a bowl. Reserve the removed bread for another use.
  3. In a bowl, combine mozzarella, cheddar, cream cheese, Parmesan, melted butter, minced garlic, oregano, garlic powder, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.
  4. Spoon the cheese mixture into the hollowed-out bread bowl, packing it down slightly.
  5. Place the filled bread on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and the bread is golden and crispy.
  6. Remove from oven, garnish with fresh parsley, and let cool for 5 minutes before serving. Crack open the top and watch the cheese pull!
