AS ORIGINALLY POSTED ON THE Manges! Mangi! blog. My sister, Mandy Jones, ended up sharing her recipe for Provençal Ham and Cheese Bread there, which has been on my radar for a while. She has so kindly sent over her pictures and comments for blogging purposes. In her words:
It was a cinch to make...took about 5 minutes to prepare and get into the oven. I set the time for 25 minutes like the book called for but it took an additional 5-7 minutes longer. We used low sodium ham because of my diet restriction and it was still yummy, but the lack of extra salty flavor was obvious. Next time, I'll use regular ham. The olives gave it a nice kick against the subtle Petit Swiss Cheese. For a little extra zing, my husband Brian added a splash of Tobasco to his piece. Because of its egginess, it seems like a breakfasty type of bread to me. However, I'm eating it for dinner! And we're drinking a California zin with it... The Prisoner. OMG...such a heavenly wine. It's so bold, but smooth. Love, love, love it! My new fav!!
