CHORIZO-MAXXING
This recipe uses the Classic Julie’s Francis, a soft but nearly bland bread notable for its semi-elongated shape and slit on top. It’s a bread-crumby snack that one can easily elevate with some toppings.
The Chorizo adds a mild tanginess or strong spice, depending on what kind you go for, giving the bread a uniquely intense flavor.
Add to that some melted cheese, and a generous dash of mayonnaise and ketchup dressing, and you got a unique snack you can easily make at home!
