Would you believe that I’ve never actually made a Cobb Loaf Dip before? Crazy I know. A couple of weekends ago I decided this was something I needed to rectify ASAP and the result was this AMAZING Bacon and Cheese Cobb Loaf Recipe!!
I chose to try a Bacon and Cheese Cobb Loaf recipe that I found scribbled in the margins of an old recipe book – and after all, who doesn’t love bacon and cheese?! The beauty of this recipe is that it’s sooooo adaptable and you really add (or omit) whatever ingredients you like.
Apart from a mild cheesy landslide which developed while the Cobb Loaf was in the oven, I’m pretty happy with how it turned out and my three taste testers also gave it a big tick of approval. This easy Bacon and Cheese Cobb Loaf is the perfect addition for when you are next entertaining, you might also like to serve it with these Beef and Vegetable Sausage Rolls, Mini Ham and Cheese Quiches or this Baileys Chocolate Ripple Cake too.
Another thing which is great about this Bacon and Cheese Cobb Loaf recipe, is that you can also prepare it in advance and then simply pop it into the over an hour or so before you want to serve it – perfect if you are entertaining.
Tips for making this Bacon and Cheese Cobb Loaf Recipe:
- To save time, you can pre-cook your bacon and spring onions and store in your fridge until needed.
- This recipe can be made the day before it’s needed, to re-heat just cover it in foil and bake in a 190 degree oven until the dip is heated through.
- It’s best to use softened cream cheese as it will make mixing the ingredients together much easier.
- You can add extra ingredients to this recipe, corn kernels, spinach leaves and sun dried tomatoes are some of our favourite add ins.

this looks great, but could you tell me what thicken cream is? is it the same as heavy cream or is it like clotted cream?
Lauren Matheson
Hi Lydia, I believe thickened cream is the same as heavy cream xx

I make this recipe, however I cook all ingredients in a saucepan first, minus cream. Then once cooked pour mixture into a warm cob loaf that has been toasted in the oven.
I have also made a loaf of bread in the bread maker and used that instead of a Cobb loaf, now that is to die for
Lauren Matheson
That sounds like a great way to make it too!

I love the cheese and bacon cob loaf, it is fantastic and tastes wonderfully, I like another favour it is spinish and ricotta ,done like the other one, there are so many ingredients that. You can us, a great dish and everyone loves it…….
Roslyn

Lauren Matheson
Oh that would be amazing!!

This is my Spinach dip recipe! I get so disappointed when I try other spinach dips at parties after you’ve had this one! Slight variations: 1 C Mayonnaise in place of the heavy cream. Add 1C fresh spinach chopped or frozen works too, just drain it really well. I also add two/three cloves of garlic. Oh my goodness, its to die for!!
Lauren Matheson
Ooh what great ingredients, I’m going to give it a try!
Tracey
I always add corn kernals and champignons when frying bacon and onions and 1 box of frozen spinach (thawed and water squeezed out) .
Lauren Matheson
That’s such a great idea, sounds delicious 🙂
