Cob Loaf Ingredients
You will need 8 basic ingredients to make this recipe:
- Sour Cream – you can use a light version if you wish.
- Cheese – I like to use both mozzarella and tasty (cheddar cheese) for this recipe, however you can also use colby or parmesan cheese and you can certainly alter the ratios of cheese if you wish.
- Bacon – I prefer to use short cut bacon for this recipe.
How to Make a Bacon and Cheese Cob Loaf
- Cut a hole in the top of your loaf and use a spoon to scoop out the filling – make sure you keep the bread pieces!
- Roughly chop the bacon and spring onion pieces and cook until golden.
- In the meantime, combine the remaining filling ingredients before adding the bacon and onions. Mix to combine.
- Add the filling and place into your oven, bake until golden on top and the filling has warmed through when carefully tested.
Tips for making this Bacon and Cheese Cob 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.

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
Simone
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!
Jo-Anne Bannerman
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
we make a chicken and corn version as well. SOOOOO good
Lauren Matheson
Oh that would be amazing!!
Corrina
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 🙂
Charmian Pearson
It’s in the oven now. I’m going to an Easter party tonight so we’ll see how it goes. I’m a bit nervous about it lol.
Lauren
