Making a Stuffed Seafood Bread Bowl is a straightforward process. Follow these simple steps to create this amazing dish:
1. Preheat Your Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Prepare the Bread Rolls: Carefully slice the tops off the bread rolls and hollow them out, removing the soft bread inside. Set the tops and insides aside.
3. Create the Seafood Filling: In a large mixing bowl, combine cooked shrimp, crab meat, flaked fish, cream cheese, sour cream, Parmesan cheese, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, and onion powder.
4. Season: Add salt and pepper to taste, mixing until well combined and creamy.
5. Stuff the Bread Rolls: Fill each hollowed bread roll generously with the seafood mixture, pressing down gently to pack it in.
6. Prepare for Baking: Place the filled rolls on a baking sheet. You can optionally brush the outside of the rolls with olive oil for added flavor and crispness.
7. Bake: Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 30-40 minutes, or until the filling is heated through and the bread is golden brown.
8. Cool: Once baked, remove from the oven and let cool for about 10-15 minutes.
9. Garnish: Before serving, sprinkle chopped fresh parsley on top of each stuffed bread bowl for a touch of color.
10. Serve: Place the bread roll tops beside the bowls for those who want to add them back on while eating.
