This veggie cheesy bread has been making an appearance at various family events since I was about eleven. My mom has been making it and I have been loving it! It’s such a simple recipe and so crazy good that you will be making it all the time. It’s sort of a cross between garlic bread, cheese bread, french bread pizza, and a sandwich. Who wouldn’t love that! That is one reason that this is the perfect app for a gathering. You can prepare this and wrap in the foil and then stick it in the fridge until the day of the party. It should be able good in the fridge for a day or two and then you can just toss it in and bake it just before the party. I love prepping for a party with as many make ahead dishes as possible. It’s perfect for your Memorial Day party coming up. What plans do you have?
