This, if you want it to be authentic, should have a slice of gluten free bread on it, but you don't HAVE to have it. You could just gob ooey-gooey cheese on top. You can find gluten free bread at health food stores like Whole Foods and even Trader Joes (Brown Rice Loaf). Tip about gluten free bread -- toast it! It tastes a whole lot better for your guests.
