Step 1

Cook bacon in a frying pan over a medium heat until crispy. Leave to cool.

Step 2

Beat cream cheese and sour cream until smooth and creamy. Fold in cheeses, creamed corn, spring onion and bacon.

Step 3

Rub the interior of the cob with the cut side of the halved garlic clove and discard clove. Spoon cheese mixture into the cob and fit with the lid. Wrap in 2 sheets of foil and place on an oven tray. Bake for 60 minutes. Remove foil and discard. Take the lid off the cob and cut into chunks. Pull the hollowed out bread piece into bread croutons and place in a large bowl. Pour over oil and salt and toss to combine. Arrange around the cob along with the lid chunks. Return the cob to the oven. Bake for a further 10-15 minutes or until croutons are crisp and golden.
