This recipe is spot on. Quick and easy. Totally customizable. I used a leftover cheddar jalopeno bread for this recipe. The addition of the veges made this very flavorful. I used the cheddar with some parmesan and added a jalopeno for a little more oomph. It was a hit. Will make this again.

Great recipe to use up stale bread, vegetables rolling around in the back of the drawer, and of course, cheese-wonderful-cheese. It is easy to improvise, with different types of bread, veggies, cheese, and seasonings. The recipe comes together quickly, so it’s great for a weeknight meal.
