Cheese & Bacon Cob Loaf

Preparation time: 15-20 minutes
Makes for: 8-10 people

• Ingredients needed: 
• 250g bacon 
• 1 large onion 
• 250g cream cheese 
• 350g cream 
• 300g ricotta cheese 
• 100g tasty cheese 
• 1 white cob loaf 

Method

1. Preheat oven to 180ºC (or camp oven to medium - hot) 
2. Slice off the top of your cob loaf to make a lid. (Don't cut too far down from the top the loaf or you won't be able to fit as much dip inside) 
3. Pull the soft bread from inside of the loaf. (Be careful not to go all the way to the bottom of the loaf. You can easily make a hole if the bottom isn't really crisp) 
4. Pop the bread pieces in a zip lock bag until you’re ready to use them so they stay fresh. 
5. Dice your onion and bacon and fry until lightly browned. 
6. Add the bacon and onion to a bowl 
7. Add other ingredients and mix well 
8. Fill your cob load with the cheese mixture. 
9. Place the lid of the cob back on top 
10. Wrap in alfoil 
11. Bake for 45 minutes 
12. Remove the alfoil and back into oven for an additional 10 mins
