Instructions
- Transform a crisp bread loaf into a vessel for a creamy, savory dip by carefully removing its crown and gently excavating the interior, preserving a sturdy shell.

- Position the bundled creation on a sturdy baking sheet, then slide into a preheated oven warming at 350F (175C).

- Carefully unveil the foil wrapping, revealing the steaming, golden-edged dip nestled within its bread cradle.

- Swap ham with crispy bacon bits for an extra crunch and smoky flavor profile that elevates the dip’s richness.
- Use low-fat cream cheese and reduced-fat cheddar to create a lighter version without compromising delicious taste.
- Customize the dip’s heat by adding diced jalapeños or a dash of hot sauce for spice lovers who want an extra kick.
- Ensure cream cheese is softened at room temperature for smooth, lump-free mixing and better overall texture of the dip.
