For the toasted wreathe:

② Roll the cut slices of bread flat on each side. Next roll them into the shape of a cone.
③ Cut the ham and cheese into cubes, and mix. Fill each cone until the bread is full.
④ Next place them in a bakeable tray in a form of a wreathe and sprinkle with the shredded cheese of your choice.
⑤ Bake them in the oven for 350 degrees for 15 minutes and serve immediately with the spinach artichoke dip!
