Cheesy discs with stepwise pictures

Hello dear readers ! I’m back after a short break . Just today my technical issue got fixed and I thought of sharing an interesting recipe to make a start . But the frequent power cuts is turning me crazy .Coming back to this recipe I tried it sometime back and it came out excellent . Procedure may look lengthy but trust me it is very easy . You may also skip the base and the ring procedure and prepare directly but making this  way  looks appealing .  The leftover cuttings of the bread can be turned into bread crumbs or can be turned into bread upkari . This makes a great evening snack, high tea snack or a kids party snack . Filling can be made of your choice .

I adapted this recipe from my friend Pallavi Patil which she had shared with us the  pictures and the recipe link in our school food group named ‘Ladyhill Masterchefs’ which belongs to our school batch . The very first sight tempted me to try this beautiful dish … Stay tuned for more interesting recipes !
