I have made this numerous times and it always receives raves. The best part is the crunchy bread bowl. Delicious!!

This is awesome!! I cannot tell you enough how much we loved this as an appetizer. Instead of layering the ingredients I just chopped them up and mixed them up together. My parents just moved back from Italy and he said that it was so good it made him think of Tuscany. I would recomend making alot of this. I would just double the recipe and use a big sourdough bread bowl. I thought that the butter would make it too rich. Wrong! The butter makes it creamy and delectable!
