Clam Dip in a Bread Bowl -- Try Something New at Your Next Party

by on ‎10-07-2014 05:13 PM

Hi, everyone!


My dearest friend David Venable’s cookbook shipped from QVC’s doors today to those of you who already picked up his second comfort food cookbook, Back Around the Table! If you haven’t gotten your copy yet, I HIGHLY recommend it. I’ve had the pleasure of trying quite a few of the recipes when I presented it with him on air, and I wanted to Happy Dance my way across the room.


This Wednesday on You’re Home with Jill we’re talking about grown-up entertaining. On Friday, I showed you how to make personalized wine-glass charms from old games. And today, I’d like to introduce you to a yummy appetizer that’s sure to surprise and delight. Everyone makes spinach-artichoke dip. Everyone makes crab dip. I like to make Clam Dip. And, I love serving it in a crusty, hearty bread bowl…you get the vessel and the dippers all in one.


Clam Dip in a Bread Bowl


Clam Dip in a Bread Bowl


Ingredients:



  • 2 large, round sourdough bread loaves (1 for baking, 1 for dipping)

  • 2 (8-oz) packages cream cheese, softened

  • 2 (6-oz) cans minced clams, drained but liquid reserved

  • 1/2 cup clam juice

  • 2 Tbsp lemon juice

  • 1 tsp salt

  • 3 green onions, chopped


Preparation:



  1. Preheat oven to 350°F.

  2. Cut the top off of one loaf of bread. Hollow out the inside and break (or cube) the pieces into bite-size portions.

  3. In an electric mixer, combine the softened cream cheese, clam liquid, clam juice, lemon juice, and salt. Mix well until combined. Fold in the drained clams and green onion.

  4. Spoon dip mixture into hollowed out bread bowl. Bake for 30 minutes.

  5. While the dip is baking, cut the second loaf of bread into bite-size pieces for dipping.


This recipe is prepared with the KitchenAid 721 Series 7-Speed Digital Hand Mixer (K39602).


Enjoy! I’ll see you tomorrow night on You’re Home with Jill at 7pm ET. For more great dip ideas check out my recipe page on QVC.com.


From my home to yours,
—Jill
