It creates a soft and fluffy texture on all parts of the bread that are soaked well. The exposed parts of bread maintain a crouton-like crunch, giving you the best of both worlds.

This one is a mix of cranberry sauce, diced turkey, gouda, and extra sharp white cheese. But I change up the cheeses depending on what’s leftover from the Thanksgiving charcuterie board.

I also like to pile on more cheese during the last few minutes of cooking and top my serving with more cranberry sauce. The tartness helps balance out the rich ingredients and makes all the flavors pop.

Who else is sad that Halloween is over? Once Halloween has passed I feel like the rest of the holidays goes by in the blink of an eye, which depresses me a little.
