Drunken Cheesy Bread
Marcus Nilsson
How to Make It
Step 1
Heat oven to 400° F. Place the bread in a buttered ovenproof skillet, a 9-inch square baking dish, or a casserole. Scatter the onion and ham over the bread. Pour the wine over the onion and ham and sprinkle with the pepper and Gruyère.
Step 2
Bake until the cheese has melted and begun to brown at the edges, about 20 minutes. Spoon onto individual plates.

would a red cuvee work with this dish? i'll be using prosciutto and gruyere. maybe throw some dried cherries for a sweet/tart treat. tell me if i'm getting to carried away!

Super dish. I made it with shrimp instead of ham, and it was out of this world.

This is a nice variation of the classic Croute au Fromage.
A fried egg on top of each serving is wonderful.

I used a nutty, artisan wheat loaf which I thought might be too heavy but was perfect. A grated Swiss/Gruyere combo (from Trader Joe's), chardonnay and prosciutto. We served it with homemade tomato soup and Champagne. The perfect holiday lunch for a cold day.

This recipe is SO EASY, and very versatile--you can use different bread, different cheese or variations on the ham. This is a very commonly requested meal from my husband. I have made it so many times. My only advice--don't go overboard on the wine, it will turn out soggy. Also, mincing the onion helps, sometimes it's not so fun biting into one of those big onion pieces.

Everyone liked this! Vey light, not filling. Cut bread into 1" cubes.

I skip the ham and have tried various cheeses and its always good.
