Bacon & Spinach Cob Dip Instructions 

1. Using a serrated knife, cut the top quarter off cob loaf to form a lid. Pull away the soft bread from inside the loaf, leaving a 2cm-thick shell. Tear bread and lid into large pieces. Place loaf, lid and bread pieces on an oven tray lined with baking paper.

2. Cook in a moderate oven (180C, 380F) for 10 minutes, or until golden and crisp. Remove.

3. To make the dip, heat an oiled, large, non-stick frying pan over medium heat. Add bacon. Stir for about 5 minutes, or until lightly golden. Drain on absorbent kitchen paper.

4. Return pan to heat. Add spinach, onions, and garlic. Stir for about 1 minute, or until spinach is wilted. Drain off excess liquid. Transfer to a large bowl. Add bacon. Cool.

5. Process both cheeses, cream and juice in a food processor until smooth. Stir into spinach mixture with dill.

6. Just before serving, spoon mixture into loaf. Serve with torn bread and vegetable dippers.
