"from fine cooking, this is a wonderful recipe to adapt to your personal tastes. this recipe is vegetarian, but you can add meats, change the type of cheese and use vegetables that you have on hand- be creative. I made this for the break fast last week end, and my guests just loved it."

  1. Made this for 20 people for a Break Fast tonight. Big Hit!
     
  2. I just made this two days ago from Fine Cooking. Terrific recipe. I sauteed shallots, and used fresh asparagus and freshly grated Romano cheese for the filling. I will make this many times.
     
  3. Oh my WORD, this was wonderful! It tastes amazing and is quite attractive to look at, too. I threw in some baby asparagus I had, but otherwise followed directions. A great dish to show off for company. Thanks so much for sharing it, Chia.
