Wonderful flavor! Will definitely make again, though I think I may alter it a bit. I think I will just skip the butter and wine for the pan and bake it with just the toppings. This way it will have the flavor, but the bread will be crisp rather than soggy on the bottom. Went great with soup and salad. Made for 1-2-3 Tag.

This simple recipe is delicious. Just like fondue and quite filling. I used a loaf of bakery bread and cut it quite thick, about 1". I also used a mixture of gruyere and emmenthaler cheese. We served it with a vegetable soup and fresh fruit.
