We started our Virtual Cooking Camp (link to virtualcookingcamp.com) this week and the first breakfast in the “Mangia Italiano” theme was this easy recipe that makes a great breakfast or snack. No cooking is required! Just a bit of chopping…
Ok…to be honest it does involve “toasting” but when I say “cooking” I’m more referring to heating a pan on a stove or baking something in the oven.
