What is nicer than a bowl of hot piping cheese, fresh bread, a glass of wine and good company?
On these hot summer days I am often not hungry and putting together a sharing plate of fresh bread, cheeses, cold meats and fruit works just fine for me. This recipe can be mixed the day before and baked at the last minute.
Cheese is good, melted cheese is better!
Bon appetite!
