Method
1. Preheat oven to 180C.
2. Heat pan over a medium heat, pour in half the olive oil and tumble in the bacon. Cook for 10 minutes, string occasionally, or until the bacon is crispy. Set bacon aside until needed.
3. In the meantime combine cream cheese, pouring cream, sour cream greyer, parsley, salt and pepper in a bowl. Next pour in 2/3rds of the bacon and mix well.
4. Cut 4cm off top of cob loaf to form lid, scoop bread from centre of loaf leaving 1.5cm edge. Tear or roughly chop bread pieces and set aside.
