Ingredients
- 1 round bread loaf (sourdough or any crusty bread)
- 1 cup grated Asiago cheese
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon dried basil

- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- Vegetable sticks, crackers, or bread pieces for serving
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Cut off the top quarter of the bread loaf to create a lid. Hollow out the center of the bread, leaving about 1 inch of bread on the sides and bottom.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the grated Asiago cheese, sour cream, mayonnaise, minced garlic, chopped parsley, dried oregano, dried basil, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to combine all the ingredients.
- Pour the dip mixture into the hollowed-out bread bowl, spreading it evenly. Place the bread lid back on top.
- Wrap the filled bread bowl in aluminum foil, ensuring it is tightly sealed. Place the foil-wrapped bread bowl on a baking sheet.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the dip is hot and bubbly.
- Remove the foil and bake for an additional 5 minutes to lightly toast the bread.
- Serve the Asiago Bread Bowl Dip warm with vegetable sticks, crackers, or bread pieces for dipping.
