This savory seafood dip is baked right in the bread bowl and is served hot. I usually buy a sourdough bread bowl, but French tastes really good, too. —Laurel Leslie, Sonora, California

3 cans (6-1/2 ounces each) minced clams
2 packages (8 ounces each) cream cheese, cubed
1 tablespoon minced fresh parsley
2 teaspoons lemon juice
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
2 teaspoons minced chives
1/2 teaspoon salt
