Please get these ingredients. You must try. I’m here eating the whole entire thing it’s that good. 😋 Thank you @martascooking for this delicious and traditional Tuscan recipe. 🇮🇹 It uses stale bread so it is the perfect way to not waste anything! Of course I had to be extra and make my own bread. 💁🏻♀️I just toasted it so it wouldn’t be a soggy mess and not only does it look beautifully rustic, it takes like Tuscany. Woa, can’t wait to make this for all those dinner parties I’ll be having when this quarantine is over! So in love with it.

Marta told us that this dish is usually served as an appetizer in the summer. I feel that it could even serve as a light dinner too on a warm summer night.
Why you’ll love it:
- new way to eat bread
- gives stale bread a second life
- the Medieval Times bread “plate” that you get to eat out of
