Stuffed Seafood Cobb loaf

Instructions

1. Prepare the Cob Loaf:
   Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Slice the top off the cob loaf and set it aside. Hollow out the loaf by removing the bread inside, leaving a thick shell. Tear the removed bread into bite-sized pieces and set aside for dipping.
2. Make the Filling:
   In a large mixing bowl, combine cream cheese, sour cream, mayonnaise, cheddar cheese, and parmesan cheese. Mix until smooth. Add the chopped prawns, crab meat, garlic powder, lemon juice, parsley, and green onions. Stir until well combined. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
3. Stuff the Loaf:
   Spoon the seafood mixture into the hollowed-out cob loaf, packing it tightly. Place the filled loaf and the bread pieces on a baking tray lined with parchment paper.
4. Bake:
   Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the filling is hot and bubbly and the bread pieces are golden and crisp.
5. Serve:
   Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately. Use the toasted bread pieces and the loaf’s crust for dipping into the creamy seafood filling.

Tips for Success

• Customize your seafood: Swap or add scallops, smoked salmon, or even canned tuna for variety.
• Crusty bread is key: Choose a cob loaf with a sturdy crust to hold the filling without getting soggy.
• Make it ahead: Prepare the filling up to a day in advance and refrigerate. Assemble and bake just before serving.
• Extra dippers: Serve with crackers, vegetable sticks, or toasted pita chips for additional dipping options.
