Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 loaf bread of choice
- 5 oz package frozen cauliflower rice or 1 grated cauliflower head
- 2 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 8 oz cream cheese cut into cubes
- ½ cup sour cream
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup buffalo sauce mild, medium, hot or extra hot
- 1 cup mozzarella cheese shredded
- chives or scallions to garnish
Instructions
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the frozen cauliflower rice and cook for 2–3 minutes, breaking up any clumps with a wooden spoon or spatula.
- Break the cream cheese into cubes. Stir into the cauliflower rice until evenly combined and fully melted. Mix in the sour cream and stir until sour cream is smooth.
- Add the buffalo sauce and mix. Start with ½ cup of sauce, then add more depending on how saucy you prefer your dips. Season with salt to taste if desired.
- Turn the heat to low and gradually mix in the shredded mozzarella cheese stirring constantly until it's fully melted. Remove the pan from the heat.
- Slice your bread loaf longways and scoop out the center to make a bowl, reserving the interior for a dipper. Spoon the hot dip inside. Garnish with chives or scallions and serve warm. Optionally, add more shredded cheese to the top and bake in the oven at 350℉ for 5 minutes.
Notes
Storing: Refrigerate leftover dip in an airtight container for up to 3 days. It can be frozen for up to 3 months and defrosted overnight in the fridge. It's best to store the dip separate from the bread bowl whether freezing or storing in the fridge.
