Ingredients
- 1 round loaf of sourdough bread
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 3 jalapenos, finely diced
- 4 slices cooked bacon, crumbled
- 4 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 2 green onions, finely chopped
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
Step 2
Using a serrated knife, cut the sourdough bread into a grid pattern, making 1-inch wide slices without cutting all the way through the bottom of the loaf. Turn the loaf 90 degrees and repeat to create a crosshatch pattern.
Step 3
In a medium bowl, mix together the softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, shredded mozzarella cheese, diced jalapenos, and crumbled bacon until fully combined.
Step 4
Gently spread the cheese mixture into the crevices of the sliced bread, ensuring it gets evenly distributed throughout.
Step 5
In a small bowl, mix the melted butter and garlic powder. Drizzle the garlic butter evenly over the top of the loaf, making sure it seeps into the crevices as well.
Step 6
Wrap the loaf tightly in aluminum foil and place it on the prepared baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes.
Step 7
Carefully remove the foil from the loaf and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.
Step 8
Remove the bread from the oven and sprinkle with chopped green onions and fresh parsley (if using). Allow to cool slightly before serving.
Step 9
Serve the Jalapeno Popper Pull Apart Bread warm and enjoy!
