Chorizo Cheddar Bread is a gorgeous quick bread in cake form. Loaded with spicy chorizo, cheddar, onion and spinach. A fantastic cheesy platform for your poached eggs or a chewy spicy side to your salad. However you choose to serve these squares they make a great addition to any meal.
Yes, the options to serve these tasty squares are endless but what I really love about this recipe is how it makes a large sheet pan that can be cut into squares. Why is this so great? These fabulous and tasty squares can be wrapped up and frozen for use whenever the meal presents itself or you have a hankering for a warm cheesy snack. Simply thaw and pop in the toaster to warm and crisp. So easy to have on hand and easier yet to get on the table.
Plan ahead, fill up your freezer and be ready in only a moment to give your soup, salad, or eggs the kind of side they deserve. Enjoy!
