Try sausage and a chese of your choice, broccoli and cheddar for a vegetarian option, or you can even make a yummy dessert by filling the bread or dough with chopped chocolate or chocolate chips and drizzle with melted chocolate after it bakes. Here are some more options:
- Chicken Cordon Bleu – deli ham, swiss cheese, and alfredo sauce make a great combination!
- Fill with leftover taco seasoning and cheese, then top with lettuce, tomato, etc. after baking!
- Turkey and Broccoli – this is a great idea when you have leftover turkey, combine with broccoli and cheddar cheese.
