Cheesy bread bowls

We had a few Ho-Hum days to deal with and nothing could pep up my mood the last weekend. We have hit the month of June and that means we are talking of scorching heat, broiling sun and heavily humid weather. So it surely is a daunting task to even think of planning an outdoor trip or relaxing the evenings in the midst of nature's lap. To top this, the stifling heat has wilted us so much that we dread imagining that we need to deal with all this for at least 3 more months. Phew !!!

I yearn to at least spend the evenings listening to sweet chirping of little birds and enjoying the gentle breeze hitting my face and the rustling leaves combined with the chiming sound of the magical winds,gazing at the playful kids in the park - these are the best ways to relive myself off the stress that has built up during the tight & juggling weekdays.

So I have been in a "no elaborate cooking mode" to keep myself away from the warmth of the hob. But I chanced upon a few irresistible yummy morels and I decided that they should be tried no matter how high the mercury soars. The best thing about them is, you can prepare the topping with exciting flavors and twists, bake them or fry them topped with shredded mozzarella, olives and pepper — very versatile.
 
Well, we are talking Bread & Cheese again but this time it is something to deal with a real wow-factor that can appeal to all age-groups. I call them trendy, hip, chic and fabulous treats because they are delicious to eat and are a joy to look at. Bonus? They serve as a grab n go Snack and their toppings can be prepared in a myriad ways. Surely a crowd-pleaser.
