A fun and retro sharing plate. Cob Loaf, filled with creamy spinach dip served with fresh vegetables.
A retro classic, Creamy Spinach Cob Loaf is the perfect dish to share with friends and family over the holidays.
The dip is served in a crusty loaf of white bread and the remaining bread gets used for dipping. Fresh vegetables and crackers make a lovely addition.
The dip, made from cream cheese, sour cream and mozzarella, is further enhanced by a sachet of onion soup. I used this Continental packet, but any brand would work.
How to make Creamy Spinach Cob Loaf:
Preheat the oven to 170°C fan bake.
In a glass bowl, microwave the spinach for 1 minute. Remove from the microwave, place in a sieve and squeeze out the excess water.
Cut the top off the cob loaf and gently remove the inside of the bread. Cut the filling into 2cm strips then place on a lined tray with the cob loaf.
Bake in the oven for 10 minutes while you make the dip.
Place the spinach in a saucepan and cook over low heat for 1 minute.
Add the sour cream and cream cheese and mix, stirring until the cream cheese has melted and everything is combined.
Add the onion soup sachet and mix then add the mozzarella. Pour in the milk and stir to combine.
Remove the bread from the oven. Pour the hot dip into the hollowed out cob loaf and serve with vegetables and the pieces of baked bread on the side.
