Drunken Cheesy Bread

This is my kind of food--quick delicious easy fattening comfort food. It’s from Real Simple magazine. 5 ingredients. Takes about 3 minutes to put together. Chances are you have everything close by. You can change and substitute all you want.
Tear half of a baguette in bite size pieces into a buttered pan
Drench the bread in dry white wine
Top with onions and ham
Sprinkle generously with grated guyere cheese
Pop into the campfire or a hot oven for 30 minutes until the cheesy is gooey and bubbling.
Of course, I don’t do onions, so I had to find something else. Decided on artichoke hearts and roasted red peppers. You could use anything really--sun dried tomatoes, herbs, olives, leeks, garlic (fresh or roasted), capers, mushrooms.
Use different leftover meats and a variety of melty cheeses. I’m thinking fontina, gouda, mozzarella, provolone, havarti, asiago….
