Savoury Cheddar-Chive Bread
I made bread.
Yep. True story. Me...baking bread!
A savoury bread even!
I got the recipe from Dorie Greenspan over at Serious Eats.
The bread is cheesy (I think I added far too much cheese as I'm not great with measuring things like cheese and chocolate, preferring to believe that more is ultimately better)...but because I used some very hard cheese we had lying around in the fridge (like a peccorino variety), I cubed this up and threw it in as well.
The recipe was good, albeit more like a loaf than a bread. I chopped up some of the fresh garlic chives & parsley from the herb garden this past summer (that garden has served me well this year, and I think I'll do it again this next season, but I will definitely add cilantro that has already been started) that we brought indoors and consumed this bread with a pumpkin beef soup mix I had in the cupboard.
Perfect lunch for a wintry day!
Great name on your blog, I had to laugh. I've been a Jamie Oliver fan for many years and always find a reason to return to his recipes. Maybe because he has a good eye for simple but quality ingredients - or maybe because he's (still) just so darned cute to look at :-)
