What’s a nachos-style baguette? Well, how about nachos that taste like pizza? Sounds like a terrific combo, right? Try it as a tasty appetizer – or even a main dish.
The wild blueberry topping gets even better when you make it an hour or two ahead so the flavours have time to develop. You want to give our dried wild blueberries time to plump up in the liquid and explode with flavour.
