Scalloped Cheese Breadfruit image

This is taken from a cookbook from Barbados. My old friend FBC has turned his nose up at this cookbook, even though he has never seen a copy, probably because it has not been approved by the food gurus of NYCity. Of course he lives in that culinary mecca, W. Lafayette, IN, so who am I to question his taste? He is missing out on recipes like this. You can also add a layer of cooked bacon slices if you wish.
