Italian Cheesy Bread!

My friend Robyn made this bread one time and we both like it,
but knew it could be better!
I added my own little twists to it and it turned out.... Ummmmm
Delicious!! 
It's especially nice that it's a relatively quick bread to make since it doesn't rise.
Here it is you just have to make it with your next Italian Meal!
