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.

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.
