Reuben Dip Bread Bowl

Print Recipe

A warm and savory Reuben dip served inside a hollowed-out pumpernickel or rye bread bowl, perfect for parties and gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup Russian dressing or Thousand Island dressing
  • 1 cup shredded Swiss cheese
  • 1/2 pound cooked corned beef, chopped or shredded into 1/4-inch pieces
  • 1/2 cup drained and chopped sauerkraut
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • Kosher salt, to taste
  • 9 inch pumpernickel or rye boule
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Kosher or sea salt, for sprinkling
  • Optional: chopped parsley or snipped chives, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Cut the top off the bread boule and hollow out the inside, reserving removed bread to cut into chunks for dipping.
  3. In a mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese, Russian dressing, shredded Swiss cheese, chopped corned beef, chopped sauerkraut, and Worcestershire sauce. Stir well to mix evenly.
  4. Place the hollowed bread bowl on a rimmed baking sheet lined with parchment or foil.
  5. Fill the bread bowl with the Reuben dip mixture, spreading it evenly into the corners. If desired, sprinkle a little extra Swiss cheese on top without covering completely to allow browning.
  6. Brush the reserved bread chunks with melted butter mixed with garlic powder, then sprinkle with salt.
  7. Place the bread bowl and the bread chunks on the baking sheet. Bake in preheated oven for 25-30 minutes until the dip is hot and bubbly and the edges of the bread are crispy. Toast the bread chunks for dipping during the last 8-10 minutes of baking until lightly browned.
  8. Remove from oven and garnish with chopped parsley or chives if desired. Serve warm with the bread chunks, crackers, bagel, or pretzel chips.

Notes

Use a sturdy rye or pumpernickel boule that can hold the dip without collapsing. For extra flavor, heat leftover dip separately if it outgrows the bread bowl. Garlic butter on bread chunks adds a delicious toasted dimension.
