Ham and Swiss is a classic sandwich combination. This recipe takes those ingredients and turns them into a dip that's baked in a yummy bread bowl. The dip is very creamy with bits of diced ham throughout the melted Swiss cheese. Green onions and ranch dressing mix add additional flavors. When the toasted bread pieces are gone for dipping, you can just eat the bread bowl. It is delicious down to the very last bite. An easy appetizer for your next party. I'll warn you that this isn't the prettiest looking dish when it comes out of the oven, but man is it good! Use any two loaves of artisan havestyle bread. It would be ideal to have a round French/Italian loaf to bake the dip in and another loaf (that doesn't have to be round) to cut up and use for dip. I can't always find a round loaf of bread easily, so a larger oblong loaf will work, you may just have some spillage. :) I usually sprinkle in a little garlic and onion powder, but the recipe is great on its own. You can always add a little spice suited to your taste.
