Bread Bowls filled with soup, dips or even an oven baked egg are a throw back to the '70's and a retro hit today! So, why go to a restaurant when you get make one at home today?
They are very easy to prepare - all you need is a roll for each person and your favorite soup, dip or filling. Simply slice off the top of the roll to form a lid and then hollow out the roll. Be sure to leave enough filling to keep your bowl sturdy!
Now, just fill 'em up!

Baked Eggs!
Or how about Mama's amazing Spinach Dip served up in a La Esperanza Round Italian Loaf:
Ingredients:
- 2 Bags frozen spinach leaves (do not use fresh, frozen only!)
- 1 Cup regular mayo
- 1 Package onion soup mix (powder)
- 1 16 oz container sour cream
- 3 Green onions (finely chopped)
Directions:
Drain spinach well. Ring out spinach like a wet towel to squeeze out excess juice, with hands.
Place spinach in a large bowl and mix in sour cream, onion soup packet, mayo and green onion.
Mix well.
Cover and refrigerate overnight (or at least 2-4 hrs)
Hollow out a large, round loaf of La Esperanza's Italian Round Bread, leaving at least a 2 inch wall. Place bread bowl on tray and pour in the dip. (Place extra bread pieces around spinach bowl for easy to get, bite sized pieces to dip with.)
Use another loaf of bread to tear more pieces with and place around bowl.
Enjoy !
