Loved it. Don't care for olives so left them out. I did put extra mozza and feta on top.

OMGosh, this is W-O-N-D-E-R-F-U-L. We are empty nesters, so I thought making recipe as is (without making only half) would be too much. Soooo glad I didn't. Both my husband and I had generous servings, with enough leftover for the next night. We never tire of this casserole. Thank you for sharing your recipe Anne. Sincerely, Jos

Wonderful dish-I cut the olives down to 1/2 a can because of salt and it was great - kids loved it. A keeper recipe.
