This was absolutely wonderful -- and surprisingly not that bad in terms of calories/fat! We had it as a main course, and it was more than enough. I used leeks instead of shallots (because that's what I had on hand); reduced-fat smoked gouda from Trader Joe's, and spinach; I threw in a quarter cup of first-rate grated parmesan/reggiano. Absolutely delicious. I will absolutely, definitely make this again -- my husband would be too unhappy if I didn't! Thanks for posting this!
