Step 1: Prep Work

Arrange the stuffed bread bombs on the prepared baking sheet, seam-side down. Brush the tops with the melted butter. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly. I’m telling you, the aroma in your kitchen is about to be out of this world!
Step 4: Finishing Touches
While the bread bombs are baking, let’s make the Spicy Herb Dip. In a medium bowl, combine the sour cream, mayonnaise, chopped fresh herbs, lemon juice, Sriracha, salt, and pepper. Stir until well blended. Get ready for your taste buds to go on a wild ride!
