This is one of those recipes that there isn't enough stars for! I am so glad I found this recipe and that MG posted it! It is very rich so I would suggest serving it with a salad and bread. I used oyster and shiitake mushrooms and I actually baked it 20 minutes longer than suggested as mine had not set in 55 min. I served it the following day after re-heating it in a 325 oven. This darkened the top a little extra but it was still outstanding and I am going to make it again this week, and probably the next, and the next!

<p>I am one of the early members of Zaar joining in October 2001. It was instantly my favorite site even though there were only about 5000 recipes. Back then the original owners Troy and Gay ran the site and they had a lot of interaction with the members. I miss them. <br /> <br />Through the years it still remains to this day my favorite go to site and the one that I send all of my friends and family to when they need anything.</p> 8724616"
