Clam Dip In A Bread Bowl Recipe 465

Steps:

• Slice top of loaf, saving the top, and tear out the insides to hollow the loaf, leaving about 1 inch of bread all around the bowl. Mix all ingredients together and pour into loaf. Put top back on and wrap tightly in heavy foil. Bake at 250 degrees for 3 hours. Let set at least 20 minutes, so it won't be too runny. It's best after an hour, still warm but firm. I've taken it to the office and had it at break time (approx 3 hours after it came out of the oven) and it was great. Can be eaten cold as well.

Steps:

• In a small bowl, combine the sour cream and clams and mix well.
• Add the lemon juice, Worcestershire, cayenne pepper, salt and white pepper. Adjust seasonings to taste. Cover and refrigerate until chilled, at least an hour.
• To serve, place a bowl of dip on a platter with spears of red bell pepper, celery and endive, or with salted potato chips.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Stir together cream cheese and sour cream in a medium bowl until smooth. Stir in clams and liquid, Worcestershire, shallot, cayenne, and 1/4 teaspoon salt until combined. Transfer mixture to a 2 1/2-to-3-cup baking dish.
• Bake until bubbly and top is golden brown in spots, about 30 minutes. Serve warm, sprinkled with cayenne, with potato chips.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350deg;F. Slice top 2 inches off bread and reserve for lid. Cut out insides of bread, leaving 1-inch-thick shell. (Reserve cut-out bread for another use.) Using electric mixer, beat cream cheese, mayonnaise, and horseradish in large bowl until blended. Mix in clams and green onions. Season with salt and pepper.Spoon filling into bread. Place reserved lid on bread. Wrap bread tightly in 2 layers of heavy-duty foil; place on heavy large baking sheet.
• Bake until filling is very hot and bread is crusty, about 1 1/2 hours. Unwrap bread. Place on large tray. Remove lid; lean lid against bread at angle.
