Ingredients
- 4 garlic cloves, finely chopped
- 1 (8-oz) pkg cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup chopped pitted mixed olives
- 1 cup shredded provolone
- 1/2 cup chopped roasted red peppers
- 1/2 cup chopped giardiniera
- 1/4 cup shredded Parmesan
- 3 oz chopped beef sausage
- 2 oz chopped turkey slices
- 2 oz chopped chicken salami
- 2 Tbsp drained capers
- 1 (1-lb) round sesame or plain boule
- Crackers, for serving
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and place the rack in the center.
- In a large bowl, mix together the garlic, cream cheese, olives, provolone, roasted red peppers, giardiniera, Parmesan, beef sausage, turkey slices, chicken salami, and capers.
- Cut the top off the bread boule and hollow out the center, leaving about a 1-inch border to form a bread bowl. Tear the removed bread into bite-sized pieces.
- Place the hollowed bread bowl and torn bread pieces on a baking sheet.
- Fill the bread bowl with the prepared dip mixture.
- Bake for 30–35 minutes, removing the bread pieces early if they toast too quickly, until the dip is warm and slightly golden on top.
- Serve warm with toasted bread pieces and crackers.
Notes
- Add chopped marinated mushrooms for extra umami.
- Stir in red pepper flakes or pickled jalapeños for heat.
- Fresh herbs like parsley or basil add brightness.
- Mix in extra provolone or mozzarella for a cheesier dip.
