About
When it's time to gather your fellow garden enthusiasts and chit-chat about the tulips, the roses, and the hedges, it calls for more than a simple dinner. You need something with a note of verdant flavor, as well as the charm of an afternoon luncheon. That's the magic of the Garden Club Bake! It flaunts a decorative and crunchy layer of bread slices to make every serving feel like an indulgent sandwich, while boasting fluffy eggs and nourishing asparagus for that springtime garden-freshness, all combining perfectly with the ham for its saltiness and succulence. Of course, melty cheese brings the whole dish, and the whole party, together. Celebrate the warmer weather and good company with this Garden Club Bake!
