SZECHENYI THERMAL BATH - BUDAPEST EYE
Enjoyed another visit to Budapest in June and the Szechenyi Thermal Spa is the epitome of historic health in Budapest. This is where guests will experience an authentic thermal spa encounter. Highlights include mineral baths, large treatment rooms and unique treatment menu. An historic blissful experience to savor in Hungary. Loved riding the Budapest Eye with #1 Daughter Kathleen. See delicious Viking Viennese Strudel Recipe preparation video created by LBN featuring chef Paput and his sous chef for guests on the "Danube Waltz" cruise up the Danube at YouTube at youto.be/CHStx8dac.Z4.

- Turn the bread over on the griddle or grill, and sprinkle the cheese on top side.
- On half of the top side, spread the vegetable scramble and cilantro.
- When the cheese begins to melt, fold the thin bread in half to cover the vegetables. Press firmly, using a tool like a large firm spatula or bottom of a pan. Flip on the other side, grill for about 2 minutes, and press.
