What’s Cooking in Gail’s Kitchen? Home Cooking: Sombrero Bread Bowl! OMG, this is the best kept secret! Go to your nearby Bakery and choose a savory artisan bread, small loaf. I chose Rosemary Olive Oil. From there, the biggest challenge is waiting for your mouth-watering seasoned creation to come out of the oven! Repeat after me, “All good things come to those who wait!” You can thank me later.
SOMBRERO BREAD BOWL
Ingredients:
4 ounces Neufchâtel cheese
1/2 cup ranch salad dressing
1 cup extra-sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
2 green onions
1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
6 strips bacon, cooked and crumbled
14.5-ounce round loaf of artisan loaf
Instructions:
Preheat oven to 300°. In medium bowl, blend Neufchâtel cheese, ranch dressing, cheddar cheese, red pepper flakes, and bacon until well mixed. Stir in onion snips. Cut off top of bread bowl. Hollow out insides. These may be used for dipping later. Fill center cavity with creamy mixture. Replace top. Wrap entire loaf in foil. Bake for 90 minutes. Peel back foil to expose bread bowl. Bake 30 minutes longer. Serve warm with bread cubes, multi-colored tortilla chips, and green onions. Enjoy!
Thank you, Gail, this is indeed a wonderful bread bowl!

A local bakery that I stumpled upon, last month, has won a bunch of major recognition – so I’d get my bread thete!!
“Small loaf”… you’re grossly underestimating my appetite!

I found one, too. They actually sell demi-baguettes, which are perfect for sandwiches. Stay tuned. 🍃🌸
