Quick, easy, delicious?my kind of cooking. Children loved it (used less pepper for their portion). Definitely keeping in my cookbook. Thanks for sharing!

I had to more than double the cheese topping. I used 4 filets and couldn't even cover 2 on both sides. So make sure you have enough on hand to cover all of your fish. Otherwise it was a hit!

A 'no brainer' for a dinner group. Too bad we don't have 'six stars.'

I love to experiment with new recipes when we have company. I know- call me crazy! I did it with this one, as they only eat fish or poultry. They loved it!! My husband did, too. I used red pepper flakes and also a little red pepper ground. With the cheese it has such a savory flavor. Definitely a keeper! Thank you for sharing it!

I've made this several times. It's great! I use a regular egg instead of the substitute, and I also add about 1/4 tsp of ground red pepper. I like spice! To try something even zestier, when the fish is done baking, I add about a tbsp of diced tomato (spicy red pepper flavor) and a half slice of pepper jack cheese to each filet. Then I put it back in the oven for a few minutes until the cheese melts some. It's spicy, but so yummy!

We like spicy foods so I added the entire teaspoon of crushed red pepper. It was very good.
