I would have to say this is one of the easiest appetizers I have come across.
Actually, I think I could just eat this for dinner.
As a main course, nothing wrong with that.
Its like a fondue.
Except without the fondue pot.
You can’t get any simpler than throwing everything in a skillet and broiling it for a few minutes.
I used a baguette to scoop up the cheese, but you could use anything you like.
Vegetables would be really good.
Carrots celery, cucumber, just to name a few.
Heck, you could use broccoli too.
Crackers are also very good with this dish.
The possiblities are endless.
