BREAKFAST CHEESE BREAD

SANDRA MEADOWS (Nashville, Tennessee) was born in Murfreesboro, Tennessee. She is known as Nini to her four grandchildren—two boys and two girls—all of whom live in Tennessee. According to granddaughter AVA MEADOWS (Brentwood, Tennessee), “Nini decorates her house for every holiday, and she always lets me and my cousins help. She is a wonderful grandmother, and we all adore her.” Nini shares that she loves this recipe because it’s quick and easy and always a hit with the grandchildren. It’s great to eat for breakfast or any other time of the day.
