Left over wine, recipes....

I had to laugh when I saw this article on Real Simple for "5 ways to use leftover wine"....who ever has left over wine? Not at my house!! :) Anyway, this recipe sounded kind of good....




Marcus Nilsson
Drunken Cheesy Bread
Butter for the pan
1/2 baguette, cut into 2-inch slices
1/2 small yellow onion, thinly sliced
1/8 pound thinly sliced cooked ham
3/4 cup white wine
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 1/2 cups (6 ounces) grated Gruyère
Heat oven to 400° F. Place the bread in a buttered ovenproof skillet, a 9-inch square baking dish, or a casserole. Scatter the onion and ham over the bread. Pour the wine over the onion and ham and sprinkle with the pepper and Gruyère. Bake until the cheese has melted and begun to brown at the edges, about 20 minutes. Spoon onto individual plates.
Tip: If you don't have Gruyère, you can substitute Swiss, Monterey Jack, fontina, or white Cheddar

Oh my gosh, that looks delicious!! Would you believe I actually have some leftover wine in the fridge? I do, but I am trying to cut back on calories a bit after Thanksgiving goodies. This looks way fattening. I am going to save this recipe, though. Thanks!!
