Absolutely Fabulous! I also sprinkled some Panko Bread crumbs on after spreading the cheese mixture. Whole family loved it-hard to do!

i LOVE this recipie! It is so easy, and comes together in a snap, not to mention that it is just flat out FABULOUS on the taste buds :) i always add a little oregano and parsley in the cheese mix and use a shredded parmesan, asagio and romano mix in place of the plain parmesan. SO GOOD!
