    My famous creamy Bacon and Cheese Cob Loaf is the ultimate comfort food! The Cheese and Bacon Dip can be made up to two days in advance and then added to your Cob Loaf before popping into the oven. To make this recipe you just need EIGHT easy ingredients and both regular and Thermomix instructions are included.

    Cheese and Bacon Cobb Loaf

    Why you will love this Cob Loaf Recipe:

    • Easy to make – it takes no time at all to mix the ingredients together for this recipe, the hardest part is waiting for it to bake!
    • Versatile – you can mix it up when it comes to the ingredients for the filling, don’t have any mozzarella cheese? You can just use tasty instead. Wanting a vegetarian version? Simply omit the bacon.
    • Make in advance – you can mix up the Cheese and Bacon filling and store in the fridge for up to two days before you plan to serve – perfect if you are entertaining!

    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

    1. 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!
    2. Roughly chop the bacon and spring onion pieces and cook until golden.
    3. In the meantime, combine the remaining filling ingredients before adding the bacon and onions. Mix to combine.
    4. 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.
    • You can add extra ingredients to this recipe, corn kernels, spinach leaves and sun dried tomatoes are some of our favourite add ins.

      Hi, this looks so delicious. I am not very clear on the baking procedure.

      When we first bake the bread, why do we need to cover the top with foil?

      After 40 min, do we remove the foil n replace it with the cut out bread top n bake for another 10 min?

        You cover in foil so it doesn’t get burnt and hard (trust me – I have forgotten the foil before and it was not good!). And yes, you remove the foil after 40 mins and pop the β€œlid” back on so the lid can become a little crispy too.

      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?

      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

      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!!

      I always add corn kernals and champignons when frying bacon and onions and 1 box of frozen spinach (thawed and water squeezed out) .
