    I'm making this for a wine tasting. My plan is to prepare all the parts the day ahead. Is that ok? Even the bread?

      Yes! Happy to hear you are making it! Let the fully toasted slices of bread cool completely before storing. Then, store them in an air-tight container. Hope they are a hit at your tasting. This recipe has become my most popular recipe to date! 🙂
