A great way to use up some stale bread, it forms a nice crust on the bottom which holds it together well. I added some spring onions and some slices of salami on the top so hubby got his "meat fix" with dinner, served with salad & garlic bread, this was a lovely simple to put together dinner. Thanks Syd!
