Recipe Ratings and Reviews
Sweet, Salty and Cheesy, This is a great recipe and feeds at least 8-10 or more when offered as part of a brunch spread. You should use golden delicious apples as they retain their shape while being sautéed and then baked. I like to use thick sliced honey ham chopped into chunks. I've made this with day old bread, croissants, bagels, challah - it all works. Also- use a good quality cheddar like Cabot extra sharp white cheddar.
Great brunch, feeds many. Reheat well. Can substute chakra bread.
