Ingredients
- 4 cups of rock-hard bread (preferably stale)

- 4 tablespoons of olive oil
- 2 teaspoons of garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon of dried herbs (such as thyme or oregano)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Bread: Cut the rock-hard bread into small cubes, about 1-inch in size. Place them in a large mixing bowl.
- Soak the Bread: Pour the broth over the bread cubes and let them soak for about 30 minutes, or until they soften slightly.
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Sauté the Vegetables: In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced vegetables and sauté for about 5-7 minutes, or until they are slightly softened. Stir in the garlic powder, dried herbs, salt, and pepper.
- Combine Ingredients: In the mixing bowl with the soaked bread, add the sautéed vegetables and grated hard cheese. Mix everything together until well combined.
- Bake: Transfer the mixture to a greased baking dish. Spread it evenly and press down gently. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes or until the top is golden brown and crispy.
- Serve: Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired, then cut into squares and serve warm.
