Enjoy the perfect summer appetiser with this quick and easy Vegemite cob loaf recipe, a savoury delight infused with the unique flavour of Vegemite.
Ingredients
1 Woolworths cob crusty loaf
2 tbs butter
1 red onion, finely diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 spring onions, thinly sliced
380g 190g X 2 Bega cream cheese with Vegemite
1 cup Woolworths shredded mozzarella
1 cup Woolworths shredded parmesan
1/2 cup sour cream
5ml extra virgin olive oil cooking spray
1 tbs chopped chives
1 Lebanese cucumber, cut into sticks
Directions
Step 1
Preheat oven to 180°C /160°C fan-forced. Line a large-rimmed baking tray with baking paper. Prepare the cob by cutting out a 15cm circle from the top to form a bread lid. Scoop bread from the centre of the loaf, leaving a 2cm-thick layer of bread to fill in. Roughly tear scooped-out bread and reserve for later.
Step 2
Heat butter in a small frying pan. Fry and caramelised red onion and garlic on low heat for 10 minutes. Add spring onion and cook for a minute. Remove from heat and add to a bowl. Add cream cheese, mozzarella, parmesan and sour cream to the bowl. Mix until well combined.
Step 3
Spoon the cream-cheese mixture inside the bread. Cover with bread lid. Wrap the cob in foil and bake for 30 minutes. Remove cob from foil and place on prepared tray. Add torn bread pieces around it. Spray lightly with oil. Bake, uncovered, for a further 10 minutes until golden and crusty.
Step 4
Remove the bread lid. Garnish cream-cheese mixture with chives. Serve with crusty bread pieces and cucumber.
