During a family gathering, my mother-in-law baked this Italian garlic cheese bagel as a starter. Cheese and bread are perfectly blended, with olive oil, garlic, pepper, and thyme perfectly matched, so fragrant that you completely forget what you had for the main meal. Using 100% whole wheat is also very healthy. Tell your mother-in-law to come and make this prescription quickly.
