Savory stuffed Baked Bread Baskets | Kid Friendly Recipes | Quick Breakfast Recipe

After I made those Bread Baskets with Fruits n Jam, we needed savory treat. I made two versions, one for the elders and another for kids with less spice. I liked these savory ones much better as it had a
semblance to the filling I remember making it many years ago. I don't remember the recipe now, which is very strange as it was something I used to prepare so often for myself.

Seeing how much Athamma and Amma enjoyed these savory baskets while we were taking pictures, I realized that we have got a perfect breakfast dish ready, which doesn't really take much time.
