now for this recipe I used an old deep dish Chicago pizza pan I have - well seasoned - I did however still take a paper towel and place some EVOO on the bottom - I increased the amount of tomato to nearly double and used a combo of fresh mozzarella and cheddar - I added some Oregano and some Italian seasons only because it seemed to be missing something - think this has great potential and will make it again - but will try throwing in some prebrowned sausage, mushrooms and perhaps even just a touch of tomato sauce along with the herbs - made for PAC fall 2009 thank you for your submission - everyone agreed it was very unquie
