Creamy spinach dip in a cobb loaf tastes amazing and is always a crowd pleaser. Nobody can resist a good warm spinach dip served in a toasty cobb loaf – especially me! It is an easy, quick and super yummy dip that tastes amazing served straight from the oven. Alternatively, you can mix the dip ingredients and buy the cobb loaf the day before. I pre-bake the cobb loaf before adding the dip, then bake it again, so it tastes fresh, even if it is a day old.
