1️⃣ Prep the Bread Bowl
Cut off the top 1/4 of the rye loaf and hollow out the center, leaving about ½-inch border.
Brush the inside with melted butter and toast at 350°F (175°C) for 5-7 mins until slightly crisp.
2️⃣ Make the Reuben Dip
In a large bowl, mix cream cheese & sour cream until smooth.
Stir in Swiss cheese, corned beef, sauerkraut, Thousand Island, Worcestershire, and spices.
Spoon the dip into the toasted bread bowl and sprinkle extra cheese on top.
3️⃣ Bake to Perfection
Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 20-25 mins until bubbly and golden.
Optional: Broil for 1-2 mins for extra crispiness!
4️⃣ Serve & Devour!
Garnish with fresh parsley or extra dressing.
Serve with extra rye bread chunks, pretzels, or veggies for dipping.
