Ingredients

• 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, room temperature
• ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
• ¼ teaspoon onion powder
• ⅓ cup mayonnaise
• 2 cups shredded Swiss cheese
• ¼ cup chopped slivered almonds
• 1 (1 pound) loaf round pumpernikel rye bread

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Step 2

In a medium casserole dish, or oven-safe bowl, stir together the mayonnaise, cream cheese, Swiss cheese, onion powder, garlic powder and almonds.

Step 3

Bake for 10 minutes in the preheated oven, or until well melted but not browned. While the spread is in the oven, cut a large circle in the top of the pumpernickel loaf, and remove the insides, leaving a 1 inch cushion of bread lining the edges. Cut the pieces of bread from the inside into cubes to use for dipping.

Step 4

When the dip is melted, pour into the bread bowl, and serve. If not serving immediately, you may heat it again in the microwave for a minute or two.
