I published this post over a year ago, but didn’t have photos added. I figure it’s high time to re-publish it….with photos, and a full explanation of just how amazing this really is.
Warning: This is probably just as bad for you as eating KFC. In fact, I didn’t take a picture of an individual slice of bread because, um, health freaks would freak out. I’m a health freak, and had to ban the image from my mind. It was….almost see-through. That’s how much butter and cheese there is in this bread.
But you just can’t think about that. Because…well, because it’s just SO GOOD! So pour yourself a glass of wine, close your eyes, and pretend that you are not eating a bucket full of calories. And if you really feel guilty about it, just do 10 jumping jacks – I’m sure that will even it all out.
Okay, moving on.
Folks: this bread has brandy in it. And blue cheese. And all kinds of other delicious awesomeness.
And the best part? You grill it. I love summertime because I get all the dishes ready, and my hubby does all the cooking. It’s a great trade off, and I’m really great at supervising, which I always do with a glass of wine in hand.
