Made without the loaf of french bread

by wredwritinghood 11 months ago
This dish was tasty, but I made several substitutions because I did not want to go to the store. For one, I did not have Italian bread. I used Japanese Panko and Ceasar crutons for the bread. I should've layered it better! I accidentally put all the Panko on the bottom. It turned out great, but had I layered it better it would've been perfect. I used a green onion instead.I used sharp cheddar also. Everybody liked it!
