The Kitchen of the Month for February was Aparna, of My Diverse Kitchen. We all baked sfincione bagharese, a type of Sicilian focaccia topped with sautéed onions and a variety of cheeses (I used mozzarella and a parmesan/romano cheese blend), then finished with a topping of bread crumbs mixed with pepper flakes, oregano, and finely chopped scallions. My favorite part was the actual bread crust and the gooey, cheesy onion topping.
The bread crumbs, however, were a different story. They were unruly, constantly jumping off and causing a crisis of crumbs on surrounding surfaces. I eventually scraped them all off and put them in the freezer for a future use. I froze some pre-cut pieces, and once reheated, that gooey goodness was front and center. I think you could add different toppings and have a delightful meal or snack.
