"This is a very simple solution for the leftover bread and cheese from last night's party. I hate to waste anything, and those crumbs of imported cheese and half eaten loaves of good bread are not cheap. Also, I really like that it does not matter if I remembered to put everything away the night before; stale is fine for this recipe. My favorite breads for this are a rosemary loaf and an olive loaf my local bakery makes. Cheeses with a lot of flavor - especially those herb encrusted brie cheeses - are great. If you do not have 1 cup of cheese left over, augment with some good cheddar. Tossing the bread with olive oil before assembling the dish makes the top crunchy and very tasty - reminiscent of good, homemade croutons, which is exactly what it is." — Syd
